I have a friend who has hand reared a raccoon, so yes people do keep them.

I'm not sure aggressive is the right word really, they play HARD and our skin just isn't tough enough to withstand the long point teeth!! I know Rory has suffered a nasty attack, but he has already said it was HIS fault.

they can be mean as the dickens, old ones for sure. if they don't respect you then it's over. they are not for a passing fancy....real beasts but i've seen many, many nice ones that are a joy.... like i say,.... you'll have the animal that you deserve.....

here, keeping a coon is no big deal...just realize what they are...take the good with the bad....after a big storm you are likely to find all kinds of baby critters...some people take them in... i know folks with deer as pets...so nice.
