Nothing Will Stand in the Way of These Raccoons and Their Meal

1 minute read

Joel Rosenthal of Hillsboro, West Virginia, posted a video of three ravenous raccoons during “meal time” at his house. Two of them stick their faces — and basically half their bodies — into the bowl. Of course, no one would dare correct them and point out their bad manners – they could have rabies, right?

The video has been shared more than 1,400 times since it was uploaded to Facebook on July 21.

Someone should at least hand them some bubble wrap so they can clean themselves up.
