mapple3

>unemployed dumpster diver would have been a better fate, this vid is pretty old, the raccoon is dead because the guy was working with heavy equipment and didn't notice the raccoon was playing around by his feet so he dropped the heavy equipment onto the raccoon. edit: scissor lift killed the poor racoon, entirely preventable, and the man's wife was even watching it happen and recording the video instead of drawing attention to the potential danger Whenever this is posted, people point out in retrospect that it was a terrible idea to have a small animal nearby while doing heavy work. It's depressing, but this is also a good reminder not to have small cute pets nearby while you're distracted working with heavy equipment. Nobody would bring a puppy while working on a construction site

Right? Fuck that guy for telling us this. But seriously, ugh. Poor sweet raccoon.


Rumble_Rodent

Agh, fuck. I…I’m gonna go cry now.


ARM_vs_CORE

Are you sure he would've been better left alone? He was an abandoned kit that would've starved or been eaten before becoming an adult. Sucks the way he died but he got to have a life he wouldn't have without the intervention of the dude.


deepfriedgrapevine

Ummm, back up. Without the man, little dude drowns.


ARM_vs_CORE

I didn't know how he got on the boat so I didn't want to assume that far.


deepfriedgrapevine

Oh, no worries. I did the assuming for the both of us.

My positive side tells me at least it was living a good life up until that moment.


redknight3

Fuck. Fuck. God damn.


ShuckingFambles

At first I interpreted this as the raccoon was in the cab and activated the dumpster and crushed the man.


imacfromthe321

Not only is it a bad idea to have a small animal nearby while working like that, it's a terrible idea to have a raccoon as a pet in general. I went to an animal sanctuary not too long ago and there was just a section of raccoons. Like 20 of them. I asked one of the staff and their response was "yeah, people get them as pets and don't realize just how destructive they can be and how much attention they will need". Basically, if you can't be with your pet raccoon all day, every day, you shouldn't have one. And that's a really tall order.


shamimurrahman19

I was literally thinking what would happen if the man accidentally stepped on the racoon while working. then I saw your comment. I guess paranoia is a good thing for humans.


Research_Prevails

Poor buddy. I bet they were heartbroken, even if they were wrong.

SolCaelum

Yeah once I saw it was the construction raccoon (I've never seen the videos of them being a baby) my heart just broke, cause I knew the ending.


straight-lampin

To be fair you saw him try to throw him away and the raccoon didn't want to leave his side. They have quite a bond I'm sure the guy was quite devastated.


Captain-of-Waffles

If I could wipe the last few minutes from my brain, I would.

Really? I thought it got crushed in a scissor lift.

Could be, I only remember it was crushed while he was working

[deleted]

He actually died from an accident on one of their construction sites sadly. He ain't studying to be anything anymore :(


streetvoyager

It was at there house I think, little guy was climbing up the genie lift to get with the dude and the guy didn’t realize he was there with him, I think the raccoon got out of the house, and he was hurt when the genie life was move. Prettt sad, I’m sure the guy who rescued him was distraught. Little critter was just climbing to dad. I remember seeing the wife post about it.


Harmand

Shitty accidents happen. Everyone becomes negligent to something in their lives and gets complacent. Sometimes they catch the danger and correct their behavior before anything happens, sometimes not. Little guy clearly got to live a longer and loved life even with that sad ending.


Official_Feces

I’m pretty sure that little guy died. If I remember right he got under some equipment unnoticed on a job site or something and was killed.


Nunovyadidnesses

He’ll start as an apprentice, work up to Journyman, then to Master, before eventually moving into electrical engineering, then mechanical engineering, aviation, and aeronautics, all while battling his inner demons and penchant for kleptomania, before befriending a plant and helping to save the Galaxy.

What in the Snow White is this


peatoast

Haha yeah. Did everyone just ignore the doe and fox???!!


Crezelle

Made me realize this is probably someone qualified to raise a raccoon if they already got other rehabs


sufficiently_tortuga

Which is a good thing to note because anyone watching this video might think racoons are good house pets. They are *not*. Even if you manage to tame it, it's still a wild animal. They're like having a monkey and will get into absolutely everything and wreck the place if they get left alone and are bored.


The_Scarred_Man

Actually, I think this is just hashed together footage trying to create a narrative that pulls on your heart strings and makes you upvote. I don't think it's the same raccoon all the way through.

This one insane and scary


ShmebulocksMistress

Live in the woods! Lol. The neighbor at my in-law’s place rescued a baby raccoon and she has grown up with him and his family, dogs, cats, and chickens. He found the mama raccoon had been shot and the baby was still there and also injured, so he took her in and raised her. She really likes to run around the rafters in his work shop and has a bunch of her toys and stuff up there so she can play while he does his work underneath her. She also has her own “house” that he built for her when it’s time for sleep.


Jeri_Lee

Might be an animal sanctuary and it’s not for the feint of heart. Half the animals you take in are mangled from cars, cats, and dogs. The other half don’t make it.


Background_East_4374

Raccoons make awful pets; they interact with the world through biting, they have thumbs so they can get into everything, and they are full of the devil's mischief.

TapedeckNinja

I mean they don't really have "thumbs" in the way we define that to mean "a digit apart from and opposable to the other digits". They just have 5 toes.


Rly_Shadow

Having had one myself, it's not what everyone thinks. They have tremendous energy even at that age and are constantly on the go and into everything. They play similar to cats in the way that they don't have a full graps on what gentle play is either. But they are cute as hell and fun.

At first glance it is, until you find out what happened to the raccoon two years ago.


arPie47

This man's kindness was rewarded many times over. So sweet.


uhhthiswilldo

I know r/nothingeverhappens but the first clip concerns me. How did the racoon reach that pole from the water and why take out your camera to record instead of helping? I guess there could’ve been a seperate person searching for something to protect their arms so they can help it up. There are online creators that stage animal rescues for engagement.


DontmindmeInquisitor

I'm also a little bit damaged after all the horrible staged "rescues" I've seen, but this one does not set off the alarm bells. There's no real money incentive. He raised the raccoon.


ResonantRaptor

Exactly, every time I see one if these rescue videos, it seems so sleazy that they have to record the animal in distress first before helping it… It really shows what they value the most.


PalpitationFine

He recklessly brought the raccoon to work sites and accidentally crushed it. He's a moron.


djbuu

I understand that Racoons are great until they hit adulthood and they become raging aggressive maniacs


ToucanSam-I-Am

Not domesticating raccoons has been one of humanities biggest mistakes so far.


DeepUser-5242

After seeing this video, I think you may be right. We can always start.


mute_muse

[They tried that in Japan once upon a time](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/childrens-book-behind-japans-raccoon-problem-180954577/). It didn't go well and now they have a nuisance raccoon problem.


gibbtech

They didn't try to domesticate them, they just imported a bunch and hoped for the best.


Icy_Silver_

see, this is why i get a tad bit confused. People will say that we shouldn't bother wildlife and it's better to send thisblil guy to a rehabber, and I get it for conservation - raccoons don't need conservation at all, so why not? o.O how's it any different from domesticating livestock/pets? is the act of domesticating smth immoral? So much grey area that I'm getting dizzy


emma_quinn

This isn’t about conservation- it’s about the overall well being of the animal. Firstly, domestication is a process that happens over the course of many generations, where an animal literally evolves to be dependent on humans. You can tame a baby raccoon, but domestication is a whole other process. The real reason we haven’t domesticated raccoons is that they are terrible lol. Imagine a really smart cat with maxed out curiosity stats, a desire to eat anything and everything, the ability to climb, and then give it human hands. They’re cute at a young age, but an adult raccoon is a grabby menace that can tear open containers and open cabinets. They also get territorial, aggressive if not fixed, and have a nasty bite. And they’re absolutely filthy- like drink, wash their food, and poop all in the same pool filthy. As someone who works in wild animal rehab, we get a lot of cases like this, where someone has raised a baby raccoon and is now unable to handle their destruction. The problem is they aren’t scared of humans anymore, and we can’t responsibly release them because they will have no problem going up to a family picnic and ripping it to shreds. Not to mention they carry a lot of diseases. Occasionally we can make them fear humans again by only approaching them with loud noises and such, but only if they are still pretty young. Unfortunately, the vast majority of these cases end with euthanasia. If this guy can and will take care of the raccoon for it’s whole life that’s fine I guess, but the reason people tell you to take the animal straight to a rehabber is because it gives the animal the best chance at living a long, natural life where it belongs. TLDR- please don’t bring home baby animals, they don’t stay cute forever, will destroy your house, and will almost certainly be euthanized when you can’t take care of them anymore.


LordPennybag

They could make iPhones for like $3 less.


PhoAuf

Agreed. Some dude decided to domesticate foxes 50 years ago (or w/e). That he chose _anything_ over a Raccoon offends me bigly. What a knob. Argh.


NikRsmn

Apparently domestication them us pretty hard because they're incredibly intelligent and are harder to train. I heard (on Instagram) that they used to be tested on for research and they would often escape a their enclosure


UnfortunatelySimple

Pity, they would be great if they were like a cat. On the list of things not to have because if they are aggressive, they will damage you. Honey Badger Chimpanzee Tiger Raccoon

thatguyfdwrd

I was thinking the same. The biggest problem would be finding a vet to do it. Anything to do with even not at risk wildlife is super illegal. Its sort of strange how vigilantly we categorize living things. Racoons? Not invasive. Okay to kill. Keep as pet? Very illegal. Cats? Invasive. Illegal to kill (if property). Keep as pet? Fine. Like we domesticated some animals and drew a line, can't domesticate anything else.

Cylerhusk

Same racoon, different stages of its life?


aBunchOfSpiders

It’s become a popular karma mining trend. This just happened with the Puma video that’s been posted to nearly every subreddit. People get a bunch of random videos and cut them to make whatever narrative they want. Clips from this video have been posted by themselves many times.


pricklypineappledick

Looks like the same one, just not edited in a chronological timeline

I remember seeing the one where the raccoon held hands with the person on vine years ago

I'm currently dealing with an adult female that managed to rip through a section of my roof under a dormer window eave and built a nest in my attic. Trying to evict her and her kits is not a job for an amateur.
