So they guy was probably running some wires and made the holes and thought he'd have some fun eh? ;)

I think the raccoon busted up the guy's kitchen without him wanting it to do that. Later videos show the raccoon sitting in the wall not wanting to come out. The raccoon is a pet, but given that it's still a wild animal raised by a human, it still has it's instincts to mess stuff up.

To the people suggesting that he shoot it, etc., it's his pet he's not going to shoot or poison it. I think he was just furious over it messing up his kitchen big time. Kind of like when you have a dog that digs out your plant base in the house and takes a crap in the potted plant area, leaving dirt on the carpet.

I've fed raccoons that come around for scraps of an evening on our deck for probably 10 years. Lots of times it is the same ones from the year before and they bring their young with them. Pieces of bread, catfood in a bowl, they WILL act like that one and not have rabies.

umm how about no. however calm he looks there, grabbing would bring out teeth claws and who knows what else. Raised by a human only does so much with something like that, it's not a dog or cat you can grab a haul around without notice.

I watched a Doberman get it's ass kicked by a Raccoon once.

The owner thought his dog was the baddest thing on 4 legs so he sicked it on a Raccoon in the back yard.....poor dog nearly got it's face ripped off and the Racoon walked away with hardly a scratch.

bad little f*ckers.

This is fake, the raccoon is named "Willie" and is a pet of the guy who posted the video. If you look on youtube under "raccoon willie" there are about 16 videos of the raccoon on there.

Yea there is a video of it as a baby making noises and being bottle fed which is pretty much cuteness overload x 10.

This is easily resolved. Leave a trail of almonds leading to poisoned vanilla ice cream.
I recommend arsenic.

Wait second.
Is that little fucker eating drywall?

My dad had a raccoon named Spike in the 70's. Spike was blind and loved to drink booze and throw pots and pans out of the cabinets. Destructive little a-holes.

He grabs the raccoon Willie but notice he has a thick gardening glove on and it's still difficult to do LOL.

The owner said he drank a half gallon of antifreeze the one time and just had bad gas from it and no other effects. Apparently raccoons are tough little suckers. Eating drywall FTW.

This guy looks so tame taking almonds out of his hand so gently. Could it be someone's pet perhaps?

I've seen some of that guy's other videos on YouTube. I'm pretty sure it's a pet. I ran across it while while looking for videos of beagles. The guy has a beagle too...they play together.

The moment I saw him feeding Willie the almonds I figured it had to have been a pet.
