I personally do not eat Racoon , have had it and have family and friends who eat them.
loved going on night time **** hunts in north Alabama as a kid and listening to the hounds .
the caught racoons were caged and feed to " clean them out " so this report puzzles me. what was illegal ?

Officer Allgood received information regarding a raccoon being kept in captivity. Officer Allgood investigated and spoke to the owner of the residence and determined he didn’t have a permit to keep wildlife. Officer Allgood issued the appropriate citations and returned the raccoon to the wild.

yep, times have really changed since me and you were kids in the woods at night hunting raccooons and occasionally pick up a possum or two.

Yeah. They always wash their paws. Cleaner than the 50% of the humans leaving the restrooms.

The difference is Alabama and Florida.
I guess Alabama hasn't any laws against it?
But Florida thinks they all have rabies just waiting to incubate. Is mostly why you can't
keep them unless you have a FL permit.
And you're not going to get that permit unless you've bought your racoon from a licensed
animal/wildlife dealer/merchant.
And they want a bunch of Benjamin's for one.

I grew up raccoon hunting in the great state of Alabama but we never had one alive after the fight.

I’ve eaten a few, they aight, have to be pretty hungry nowadays to actually pursue one to eat. I try my best to kill every one those Turkey/chicken killin bastages I see.
