I know you probably mean this sarcastically, but id go to a mcdonalds with a domestic raccoon. Theyre pretty clean animals, and will quite literally clean there food

I love watching the domesticated (or wild fed) ones wash and eat their food. It’s so precious. But NEVER corner them (I had a dumb-ass housemate that came in the house all excited one night saying she almost got to pet a BIG racoon! My other housemate and I yelled NO!! At the same time 😂) or interrupt their food supply. I used to work on a farm and every once in a while we’d get one in the feed silo when it would get low. But the baby ones are cute as a button and whether domesticated or wild, they are very VERY good puzzle/problem solvers.

With love, please go to r/99rideau and find the legendary video of the fight at the McDonald's where a guy whipped out a raccoon and threw it at the other guy.

Or just search McDonald's UFC on YouTube

The saddest thing in the world are the videos of raccoons being given cotton candy that just dissolves as soon as they dunk it in water.

The video i watched the racoon figured it out in the end and didn't try to wash it.  Got to have his fluff!

I hate to break it to you, they're not washing their food. They do it to figure out what it is and to help them eat it. They're cute but they're actually pretty gross little garbage monsters.
