An Unusual Pet

Some people have unusual pets. This lady had a really unusual one for England. We met her while walking in a seaside town.

    Thats a cute picture but I think it is illegal here, unless you have a special liscense.

    Cute picture. I believe in PA it is illegal to have a raccoon as a pet. they are also considered pests.

    They are hard to get rid of. Very cute but they can be pests. I know in Florida that you aren't aloowed to trap them for example, very hard to get rid of them.

    We had a family of raccoons in our garden back in the US. Cute things till our disgusting neighbor shot them :(

    I have a friend in Florida who keeps flying squirrels too. Definitely an unusual choice of pet.

    I know someone who keeps a Flying Squirrel.

    I have known a few people who had raccoons as pets, although I must say they were most likely to live in the country or rural areas. Very cute! I'll bet she gets a lot of attention with it, too.

    He is quite cute, but knowing what they can be like, I am not sure I would be able to trust one as a pet. They are so cute to look at though.
