G+_Jason Howell (raygun01) Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Ben McGraw the raccoon was attacking his dog outside the frame of this video. If he didn't do something, his dog might have been killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Michael Lopez Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Ben McGraw need to check out the full video before making any comments. His dog was under attack by the raccoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben McGraw Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Michael Lopez Need not worry about me. Regardless. Throwing an animal down stairs is not acceptable in any situation. Couldn't have been too much of a threat if he actually put HIS hands on the thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Michael Lopez Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Ben McGraw really not acceptable in any situation even in defense of pet or a loved one? sorry man but in that situation anyone is going to do what is needed to defend the ones they love. Running away from a raccoon is just going to encourage it to chase you. Not like Kevin chased after it and kept beating it. If that was how he acted then I would not agree with those actions. Always easy for us to judge a situation someone else had to experience in real life. Any case he did the right thing getting the raccoon out of there.

G+_Michael Lopez Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Kevin stated on TWIT last night that the raccoon ran off through the fence. Sounds like it was ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Michelle Potter Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 That is really disgusting! If you had picked it up by its back as you said on Twit I see no reason you couldn't have just walked down the stairs with it, are you really thinking that your behaviour is acceptable? Completely unnecessarily cruel, if I'm honest I think you should face cruelty to animal charges! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Christopher King Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Michelle Potter Racoons are in the Badger family. They will rip you up if they have a chance. The quicker you get rid of it the better. They aren't at all nice guys. fyi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Robert Ober Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 But they are living, breathing, feeling creatures. They have their place in the ecosystem and should be treated fairly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Marlon Thompson Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 Okay people, I just put this up because of yesterday's TWiT, watch the show or the link I posted in the comments about the context. Kevin Rose stated he feared for his dog's life and that he is not condoning cruelty to animals. Raccoons do carry rabies and other pathogens and attack humans and animals in urban areas so in my view his reaction was justified and the raccoon is okay and the gif is funny.

G+_Michael Lopez Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Michelle Potter First you have to file cruelty charges against the raccoon for attacking Kevin's dog. If you watched the full video you would understand the entire situation. Also when was the last time you handled a raccoon? If you have to handle one its is either with very thick gloves or you get rid of it very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
