Domesticated animals would literally describe wild animals as "godless", although these raccoons have clearly found a semblance of a patron deity

Raccoons are more like warlocks; they cut bargains rather than give worship

Well it's like what they stereotype as "primitive" worship (which is a chauvinistic attitude from cultures that had a more "developed" religion) You believe spirits are real but you don't fully understand them, you just try to be nice to them so they don't mess with you

Like the Tumblr post about humans as faeries People in Europe who obviously don't believe in the old pagan gods but who will still divert a roadway so it doesn't pass through a fairy circle

Maybe these raccoons won't be rolling over and playing tricks anytime soon but as you say they know not to bite the hand that feeds

Especially since those are the fattest raccoons I have ever seen.

I looked the guy up and he says this whole thing started with his wife, who was a big old softie who rescued cats and who had a habit of feeding wildlife despite the official admonitions not to do it And when she died young from cancer in 2013 he promised to honor her memory

He's fed the raccoons religiously since then He said a while back he almost stopped doing it, because he'd stopped seeing any of the original raccoons she'd been feeding and realized they must have died of old age

But the new raccoons who'd started coming showed up again the next night and he didn't have the heart to disappoint them So now it's this multigenerational raccoon/human relationship, he's now become a Friend to All Raccoons in his neighborhood

He's retired and on a fixed income, and pays for the hot dogs himself but as the raccoon population has grown has taken to leveraging his social media fame to ask for donations if you want to see a video of the raccoons getting a special treat
