Re: Drunk Raccoon on Christmas Market
Found a half-empty bottle of schnapps. Bet his head is hurting, based on how grumpy he is. At least they could have given him a cookie. That would have made him a little happier. |

Re: Drunk Raccoon on Christmas Market
Local media at first reported that the racoon was being taken to Erfurt's animal shelter. But after the shelter posted on its Facebook page that this wasn't the case, a city spokesman told local broadcaster MDR Thuringia that authorities had no choice but to shoot the racoon because it would have been illegal to set it free. He added that a vet had identified signs of canine distemper, a disease affecting a variety of animals which can be fatal. The animals should not be released because they endanger the native ecosystem. Under German law, racoons are categorised an invasive pet which may be hunted. According to the Animal Protection Agency, it is unclear how shelters or rescue centres should handle captured animals. |
