Some Americans seem very nonplussed. They treat them like a pigeon. I also love pigeons. Raccoons are kind of treated as sort of, people hate them. You know, they're going through your trash. I think they're one of the cutest things. They've got little hands they can grab onto things. There's otters running around. They seem adorable.
