Keeping pet raccoons is generally not recommended due to several ethical concerns. Raccoons are wild animals that have specific needs and behaviors that are difficult to meet in a domestic setting. They can also pose health risks to humans due to the potential for carrying diseases such as rabies. It is important to consider the well-being of the animal and whether it is truly in the raccoon's best interest to be kept as a pet. In most cases, it is more ethical to appreciate raccoons in their natural habitat and support conservation efforts to protect them.
