It is generally not considered ethical to keep raccoons as pets. Raccoons are wild animals that have specific needs and behaviors that are difficult to meet in a domestic setting. Keeping raccoons as pets can also pose risks to both the animal and the owner, as raccoons can carry diseases, become aggressive, and may not adapt well to captivity. It is best to admire raccoons from a distance in their natural habitat rather than trying to keep them as pets.
