I watched a safety video today as a part of first aid training that unfortunately featured a raccoon and a person who stupidly got too close when the raccoon felt cornered (and paid for his stupidity by getting bitten). No one ever accused some people of being to smart. Isn't it amazing just how uncommon common sense is? I think common sense is common. Application of common sense is uncommon. ID: 949576 ·

Very funny commercial. I've noticed that raccoons have figured in several commercials here in the US over the past couple of years. A while back a fast food chain featured raccoons commandeering a car and going out for "treats". Before that, Lazy Boy used raccoons to sell lounge chairs. I may have missed my calling in life. Perhaps I should have been a Hollywood Raccoon Wrangler... ID: 962417 ·

Maybe yopu can deduct the rabies shots? Not certain about that. You might be able to qualify it as a business expense, but you might have to put it under medical with that horrible minimum% of income threshold. BOINC WIKI ID: 962435 ·
