    Everybody loves raccoons, the animal embodiment of one’s indomitable, anarchic trash-goblin spirit!

    (5 seconds later) We regret to inform you that the presence of raccoons in Europe is a legacy of Hitler

      That might not be as far from the truth as you might think. In 1945, a few individuals escaped a pelt farm (fuck humans) near Berlin due to an unknown cause and some hypothesize a bomb dropped during an air raid could have destroyed an enclosure.

        IIRC, encouraging raccoon farming was a specific NSDAP policy, and may have started in the Nazi era.
