Look, I understand that global pandemics are serious and many people died and we're still at risk, but I don't want us to lose sight of the equally important fact that raccoon dogs apparently exist and look like this and I would like one.
@josephthomas The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service also moved to classify raccoon dogs as federally injurious animals, making them illegal to import or possess. That rule took effect on Jan. 17, 1983. They are extremely smelly and need a lot of space to thrive. https://tinyl.io/86ib
