http://www.dem.ri.gov/programs/bnatres/agricult/pdf/raccoons.pdfCoons can't contract rabies? I was always told that if a normally nocturnal wild animal is out & about in daylight and exhibits no fear of humans, chances are it's rabid. Is that not the case?
I met a taxidermist that wouldn't do raccoons.
