But they're so cuuuuute

By britanyann - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I had to explain to my 25-year-old boyfriend why we cannot get pet raccoons. This is not the first time we have had this conversation. FML

Well, why the hell not? Raise them from cubs and they're just as amiable and loving as any other slightly-less-than-common pet.

How can you not want a raccoon? They was their own hands. Something half of America doesn't do.

Oh. Raccoons are kind of scary tho. Just saying. Yeah so once I read a book about how a raccoon nibbled off a girls toes. I never thought of raccoons the same. Don't you people dare say "cool story bro" :)

Most places you cannot because they are classified as "exotic animals" in most statues. Only a few states allow exotic animals to be kept as pets and the places that do (Vermont, Ohio and a couple others) require certain things like a license or something else like getting approval from a game and fish warden.

You stick in the mud! I'll bet you won't let him have his cobras, wolverines or anthrax colonies.

A nice puppy will have to do for em' then, if they want something wild then they'll have to go to bed with a little kamatsutra book.

Actually, if you raise a raccoon from practically birth, you can keep one as a pet. They're just like love able kitties:3 we took care of three after there mum was hit by a truck. If you raise them from the time before their eyes open, then they are way less aggressive(: such cuddly little critters:3
