they have the same amount of neurons as dogs. but they would just be bred for warfare anyway

Yeah, kinda.
It's more that they can mask.
If breeding for tameness like Belyaev did with his foxes, raccoons would be an enormous fucking challenge specifically because they can fake being tame.
Were anyone to try, they'd have a hard go of it.
But I want them to try. I want a truly domesticated raccoon.

The smarter the animal the easier it is to domesticate.

No. The average human is just too dumb for them.

Why do they wear an upside down dog nose?

No, they are smart enough to like free food and belly rubs

They're smarter than us and yet they're fucking dumb to wear headphones properly?

I think we should live in harmony with the wonderful critters, not necessarily domescate them. It would be all kinds of sad for there to be triple XL SMASHED and LAMMED raccs :(

Yeah I agree. They are very polite creatures already, no need for domestication.

Why is the little man flashing jazz hands at me?

Damn this just unlocked a memory of when my dad shot a raccoon and then discovered it had babies. He felt bad and built a cage in the house for them. He gave them one of grammy's fur hats to snuggle with and bottle fed them

I for one would like to believe in an army of mutant raccoons.

>>5121278
I don't think they're too smart as much as we don't have enough of a use for them.
Best usage for a domesticated racoon is just a worse manual laborer. With minimum wage where it is it's not worth training a coon to flip burgers when a human can already do it for the same wage.

Did they grow into adults? Did he release them back in the wild?

>>5125722
They're all superfamily Musteloid so it doesn't really matter. Red pandas used to be grouped with raccoons.

>>5125596
I would pay 20 dollars to watch a raccoon flip a burger for me.

i want to blow a raccoon
