A lot of things i thought were cute and nice like dolphines, ducks, cats (i saw one cat eat anothers new born), dogs (multiple cases of eating dead owners due to a variety of reasons starting from trying to wake em up to other malicious reasons), hamsters etc turned out to be wrong . Raccoons are the only thing i believe in anymore so give it to me straight are they as they seem ?

Edit : To reduce confusion and to not have to answer to duplicate comments NO I do not hate animals . I think they are all neat and they are what they are and I don’t hold them up to humans standard but I’m not an animal person like cat people or dog people either . I hope this clears it up.

      This is a really toxic way to look at animals. You should enjoy them not because they are cute and loving but because they are incredible beings that help craft the ecosystems in which we thrive. If not like them, then hopefully you can at least respect and accept them for what they are.

      As to your original question, raccoons are incredible animals. One of the few species who are so adaptable that they can manage to survive in our concrete world, despite our efforts to stop them. They’re very intelligent and dexterous and it’s incredible they continue to survive and borderline thrive at times.

      You’re are, it’s just you’re having a weird problem thanks to your weird beliefs, which would be remedied by trying to actually align your beliefs with reality, but instead trying to get Lemmy users to help you decide where raccoons align on your good/bad chart lmao.
