at night unless they have rabies then they come out any time and will attack on sight
That is not true, raccoons are mainly active at dusk and dawn, and they can at times be seen during daylight hours, during late morning, early evening. Cats are nocturnal, does that mean they are never awake during daylight hours? This is one of the biggest misconceptions of raccoons. You may see a raccoon in the day, just keep your distance, and be a afraid if it isn't afraid of you.

∙ 8y agoNever! There is rarely a good reason to take a raccoon into captivity. It might be necessary if it needs to be observed for possible rabies. Raccoons do not make good pets, especially older animals, and most states do not allow them to be kept as pets.

Are raccoons canibals?
We are in fact in the middle of an investigation to answer this question. We first attracted raccoons to our balcony by leaving out some garbage. When a family of raccoons arrived we pelted them with empty beer bottles until we finally wore them down and got a killer headshot. We then continued to skin the raccoon and decapitate it. The raccoon head was then placed on the top of a pike and placed next to the front gate. As of yet the raccoons have not yet returned. They realise the danger that awaits beyond those pillars. So to answer your question peter is in fact a batty and if raccoons come onto my balcony i will kill them.
