For what it's worth, I'd probably be the undesirable person that would probably take a raccoon to the nature center because I can't kill stuff. So I'm already behind the 8 ball in everyone's opinion.
Nah, we all have a a gentle side, and love nature. It's just when that "nature" comes and eats our "stuff" that we get a bit upset.
My sister ran over a little bird when she was learning to drive - she didn't drive for ages. And when I hit a pheasant, and got out to make sure it was dead (I didn't want it to linger and suffer) she wouldn't speak to me for several months.
I like to watch the foxes, and coons, and hawks, just stay away from by livestock!
