    Racoons will go in traps without food, because they’ve seen traps with food in the past and were hoping for delicious treats.

      Sometimes an animal will become so convinced that traps are a good space (protection from predators and food), that they become what they call ‘trap happy’ and will go into any trap they see. Which is funny but annoying if you’re trying to do a survey or something and one asshole keeps showing up looking for snacks.

        Same thing can also happen with wildlife rehabs! You release a former patient, they make their way back to where they had the good life. Even prime release candidates can prove to be a bit too comfortable once they have a hard night.

      I was just going to chalk it up to curiosity, because raccoons are smart enough to be curious, but I like your answer better!

    You didn’t catch shit, Anon. These two are the distraction covering the thousands secretly invading your home. These highly dedicated, highly motivated operators are among nature’s most insidious threats; and you, fool child, became their target quite some time ago.

    None will wish you luck of any kind, because there is no good or pleasant end for you.

    No, they’re free. Everyone else is the one in the cage. You let them escape.
