See this, kids? This is why you don't raise wildlife without a license. Or a brain. I don't recall feeling this absolutely infuriated in my life. This person's "caring" probably gave this baby raccoon metabolic bone disease.
I don't care how cute they are. I don't care how much you want it for a pet. I don't care how hard it would be on your kids to give whatever fluffy creature you found to a rehabber. Not only is it dangerous, illegal, and expensive for you and your family, you will likely harm the animal in the process. If it is a rabies vector species and the health department finds out you have handled it without gloves, guess who gets beheaded and tested for rabies? By some unjust law of man, not the idiot who picked up the skunk/raccoon/bat with their bare hands.
TL;DR: Abuse wildlife and I will find you and punch you in the face.
