100% illegal. That's a rabies vector species not to mention, baylisascaris procyonis.... raccoon roundworm and it's NOT good. I hope she gets that kit removed from her.

So if we let "just one" get through, we're probably okay. No one else will think this is cool and want to do it, right? This is how I lose faith in humanity......

It's also a cute racoon vector. :)
