I haven't looked at the video, but are you suggesting using wild animals
for home demolition projects? If so, I'm going to have to insist that
they be paid a living wage.

Watch the video. The raccoon is not racing about tumping things over.

It has eaten giant holes in the wall!

Here, here!

I watched the video, and it was interesting, but we didn't get the end
of the story.

Couldn't he have used a brookstick and a wire stapled at one end to
the stick, and run the wire around the hole the raccoon was peeking
out of, when he wasn't there, and back to the stick, to grab the
raccoon when he stuck his body part way out to get the nuts?

Like the sticks the pound uses to catch dogs that might be vicious.

Raccoons are tame as can be until they're threatened, and then they're
more vicious than a New Orleans cop. I've shooed whole families of them
out of the house with no problems, but I would never, ever try to snare
one.

I wouldn't call them tame. I just would not call them dangerous,
although my chickens would beg to disagree.

All I know is that I'd never tangle with a raccoon.

I dunno. I agree that there's something fishy about the story, as
presented, though.
