They've become sentient

By their second year, every American raccoon has fired at least three guns.

My dog just watched me pull a raccoon out of my fireplace, now he just keeps looking at me. I can only imagine what he thinks just happened.

Yeah I'm sorry America, but if the Racoon's take up arms, y'all are screwed.

The tide of the opossum/raccoon war turned when the opossums started making tanks.

Nobody talks about the consequences of failing attempts to kill raccoons. Instead live trap them so you can interrogate them about their leader
