I had the same thought haha like a introduction "These animals are called 'humans' and these subjects are very friendly, but still need to be treated with caution. Most of these creatures are dangerous and you must run from them."

I love it!!!

Aww. 🥹 Bebe 🦝🐾 This story tugged at my heartstrings. 💘✨

Such a sweet story 😊

that was kind of you.

Isn't it poisonous for them, in large doses?

Yes, grapes are toxic for dogs! Never feed them to your dog!

​@TalEdds Oh I didn't know that! I never gave them to my dog, but it's good to know! Thank you! 😊❤💯

​​@TalEdds yes they are. But not only large doses. Any amount can make them unwell. If a dog eats even one grape it's advised to call the vet.

@@IshiyAnime Dogs won't eat grapes, animals avoid stuff that's harmful to them, that's how they've survived.

I believe most "wild" animals can be this way if they are treated with respect.

Raccoons did not occur west of the Rockies prior to westward expansion. The raccoons followed the pioneers west because of the vittles.

@@eugenedanker2377 With respect... and food.

@@yaldabaoth2 Yes, they are always ready for a handout.

Wait til it's got rabies

This is just amazing. Two mothers introducing their babies and spending some time together. Nature is beautiful :D

Yea until it goes rabid and starts attacking your 2 year old 🤦‍♂️

exactly at least part of them always knows their true origin now imagine this keeps on going for generations

This is so fucking dumb. She had a chance to simply not interact with the raccoon and scare it away to teach it that its source of food is no longer from human hands. Now she's taught generations upon generations of raccoons in that area that it's okay to approach humans and see them as safe. That's _not_ good for them and this shouldn't be encouraged. Not only that, you don't let your 1 year old child hand feed them. They are still wild animals and a baby's behavior can startle them for whatever reason. One of them could be in the early stages of rabies or distemper and after the baby hand feeds the raccoon, its saliva is now on the baby's hand, and then the baby puts its hand in its own mouth. It's just so, so irresponsible. People _have_ to stop treating wild animals like pets, and at the very least, stop subjecting their children to the dangers of them.

@dismalrealms3587 I was looking for this comment, I came across a rabbit skunk few weeks ago. Took abt 4 shots before it stopped running. Pretty rare in my area tho.

In the case of the cats you can actually do something about that though wildlife is wildlife so raccoons stay outside but “feral” cats can be turned into regular cats and you should definitely do that loo

Cat rescue people told me you cant do that with adult feral cats..i did catch like 9 males including 3 young ones and got them fixed. They fight over females, food and territory. Those young ones i kept in my front yard. I have dogs so i cant bring them in, but i provide food and shelter for them. They trust us now but won't let us pet them. They run away @pavloszimbrakos4410

They will continue to come back, especially knowing there is food!! That's awesome you do that

Awesome about the wildlife not the feral cats, we have issues with that in my neighborhood. Feral cats everywhere having litters all over yet people keep feeding them….

@@diazce95 Does your Town/County not have a TNR program?? That can be controlled.

"Roxie." It's on screen.

So beautiful huh ❤❤

​@@user-dh6bj2me5p🤗 Some people just don't pay attention!👀😂😍

Roxie. Damn

Sweet as ever

Same here💫🐾💫

I have a knack for saving little orphan kittens that nobody wants later, so I have a bunch on my patio!

Right

Get them some mealworms. They will LOVE IT.

People who truly love animals don’t feed them.

Plus a family of Racoons to bond with. How lucky. There's a video roughly the same on KZfaq but it's Roe Deer that come to the door. See if you can find the video where a Golden Retriever befriends a Red Squirrel l. That's the best one I've saw yet.

I understand completely, I miss my babies to this day. Dan

Yes! Unfortunately they have short lives, can you imagine if they lived 60-80 years😱.. I'm waiting for mine to come up on my deck .

I don't know. Rabies is a terrifying thing.

It's so sweet. Giving your little barefoot baby exposure to the round worms that raccoons carry! I'm sure you'll still love her when she's slow in the head! ♥️🤪

​@@SusanKay-how's life in the bubble?

@@jamesmcivor340 It's bubblicious! Trying to teach kids not to eat lead paint chips today. How's your fam?

​@@jamesmcivor340Rick & Susan are correct! Plus, feeding inappropriate & contaminated food can cause illness or even kill them. And habituating wildlife to humans risks them approaching unsuspecting people who may think that they have Rabies bc of their unusual behavior, so they call the authorities to deal with them (read: murder them to be on the safe side).

👏😻👍Good on you for not exploiting the situation! I'm very proud of you for doing the right thing & not keeping them/ using them to make a "funny video" for attention online 🥇🏆🥇

You're very sweet to do that.

Not all that remarkable since all mammals have similar caring instincts

on so many levels

Feeding the first raccoon was already not necessary it seems like, but teaching multiple generations of its offspring to rely on and seek humans out for food is going to create future problems.

@@robertsimon-kroppmanns7287 Except we do far more harm than good to nature, so the least we can do is feed its creatures. Might as well say not to feed homeless people.

Shove off. We constantly destroy nature and nonhumans. The least we can do is feed these animals, especially when they lose much of their natural food sources because of us.

​@@englishatheartThat is sooo not the same thing! This is federally illegal in the USA for many reasons. Desensitizing wildlife to humans/ pets can easily be a death sentence... for them & us. Feeding inappropriate/ contaminated food can cause illness or even kill them. We transmit diseases/ illness to each other. Habituating them to humans can cause them to approach unsuspecting people looking for food/ attention, they may think that they have Rabies bc of their unusual behavior and call the authorities to deal with them (read: murder them to be on the safe side). But the hunters really love this stupidity.

We humans are also animals that share our mammalian genes with other mammals even marine mammals. I once visited a marine mammal rehab center and held flippers with a seal, I could feel it's human like hand under it's skin covering. All mammals including us, share an ancient common ancestor. 😀

Yep, perpetuating the dangerous cycle 😬

This doesn't actually help, even she literally said, "You really shouldn't feed wildlife." It desensitizes them to humans/ pets & can be a death sentence. Feeding inappropriate/ contaminated food can cause illness or even kill them. We transmit diseases/ illness to each other. Habituating them to people can cause them to approach unsuspecting people looking for food/ attention & they may think that they have Rabies bc of their unusual behavior and call the authorities to deal with them (read: murder them to be on the safe side). This is why it's federally illegal in the USA.

Commenting so that the woman in the vid can see this

I know so scary. It's like those people who feed the wild monkeys when they go on vacation.

@@SusanChristmas no its like when people feed raccoons in raccoon taritory and rabies .... is that a monkey?

You can buy treat vaccines for rabies. We used to spread them on our farm,and New York State, air drops them every year.😒🤗

​@MichaelKurse That doesn't make this behavior any less wrong. It's federally illegal to feed wildlife in the USA (& many other places) for many good reasons.

👏😻👍Yes! It's even federally illegal in the USA (& many other places) for many good reasons. The OP literally says, "You really shouldn't feed wildlife." (Then does 🙄🤦‍♀️😬)

You're just lucky that it wasn't from Rabies 😬

I don't know where you are but that's federally illegal in the USA. Desensitizing them to humans can be a death sentence. Feeding inappropriate/ contaminated food can cause illness or even kill them. We transmit diseases/ illness to each other. Habituating wildlife to humans/ pets may cause them to approach unsuspecting people looking for food/ attention & they may think that they have Rabies bc of their unusual behavior & call the authorities to deal with them (read: murder them to be on the safe side). And you "dare your neighbors to say something"?!? You're just like the new b!t(h that moved here & did the same dam thing even though we all warned her. Now we all have a rat infestation & bear problem (who may be put down bc of it 😿).

😺👍They can also have Rabies, etc. and become territorial or get aggressive if you don't feed them (enough)... among other things. It's federally illegal in the USA (& many other places) for many good reasons.

Yes, true... also roundworms can enter our bodies by walking barefoot on deer droppings

I've got a wildlife degree and wouldn't advise to feed wild critters, but sometimes circumstances arise that you do. It's not always hypocrisy to tell people not to do something you do. Sometimes, it's experience. I have raised Guinea pigs and horses and told people not to get those animals because they take lots of work, time and money, and a myriad of other reasons. I've advised certain people not to get a cat or a dog for some of the same reasons. It seems only Roxie and her 1 daughter are visiting, not a hoard of raccoons, so the majority are retaining stay away from humans, and no property damage is seemingly being done. So enjoy the video and stop preaching. Sometimes hypocrisy is fun.

What if you know it’s against the law to feed animals? This lady said she is feeding the raccoon because “the raccoon has already become dependant on humans feeding her”. She said it clearly and she seems to be doing a great job.
