an ex of mine did wildlife rescue and said the raccoons would fuckin slit a throat for an oreo. One morning the staff came in and discovered the raccoons had managed to open all the cages and let each other out, and were just lying all over in a stupor, stuffed with Oreos stolen during the night

I briefly worked in a redneck bar in Louisiana that had a tree growing through the middle of it and policy was that we had to put the Irish Cream in the cooler overnight because raccoons would climb down the tree and drink it all.

Neighbor used to have enormous old avocado trees, and the raccoons would stuff themselves to the point that all they could do was lie under the trees with distended bellies. And there were still enough avocados left over for most of the rest of the neighborhood.

Curious - does this mean that raccoons do not share the dog characteristic of being poisoned by chocolate, or does this mean that the type of chocolate in oreos is not the bad kind of chocolate? (or does this mean the wildlife rescue org staff ate vanilla oreos?)

Awesome, I will use this knowledge when baiting my raccoon trap (live-catch, I relocate them because in addition to loving oreos, they love eating my chickens, often without killing them first.)

We've been annoyed that raccoons have been coming to our porch to eat the feral cats' food. Then a skunk started coming for late night snacks. We can shoo the raccoons even though they can be mildly resistent to leaving, but the skunk? Nope.

I do find it very touching that the first raccoon to get out let the other ones out instead of just hoarding the Oreos for himself

Based on my knowledge of raccoons, this sounds typical. If they ever align with the squirrels, we are screwed.

I mean, when I’m in an edible or two, I’D slit someone’s throat for an Oreo. I’d even beat someone up for a Hydrox. I feel like I’m in “Requiem for a Dream,” but it’s junk food.

Welp. Looks like the rumors are true. Raccoons don’t play when it comes to territory or their food, especially the snacks.

They did not slit any throats. In fact, they cooperated and shared. The raccoons are noble and believers in equality.
