Are raccoons too smart to be domesticated?

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.

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 :(
