Yeah, and all it did was stow away on his ship. It's not like it stole the guy's mangoes or anything.

There wasn't a need to kill it. That boat was big enough to either lock it away or keep it away until you got to shore.

Anyone that agrees that killing it was the only course of action just hates living creatures.

He should've smashed it with an oar so it died of painful blunt force trauma and internal hemorrhaging instead of something as monstrously inhumane as drowning.

Look, that's not even the biggest issue.

Whether or not one agrees with killing it, the biggest issue is why record it? Why show it? Why?

It's not funny. It's not something to show off or brag about. If someone feels it needs to be done, then it should have been a more solemn/serious thing than this. I'm not going to damn someone for panicking, whether or not I agree with what was done is honestly irrelevant when it comes to killing or not. People can do stupid things in the moment if the panic, and I can imagine someone panicking with that situation. My sister, who isn't scared of like anything, calls me crazy for scaring raccoons off. They've always been more scared of me than I am of them, and I'm always pretty careful about it. But people get really scared of raccoons it seems like sometimes.

I am going to say the following actions show someone who doesn't find it to be a big deal and lacks the common sense to realize it's a bad idea.

(Here I am, lack of common sense in hand, posting here. Still having more common sense than to kill something, film it, and show that.)

The biggest issue might be recording it. But another big issue is the glee he took in causing it to drown...

Very fair.

I think the two go hand in hand to an extent.

The kind of person who is going to record and display it in the manner it was done probably has little regard for life. It displays that lack of compassion to the animal to record and post it like that already, and leaves the evidence right there.

No one would even know that he'd done it without that really. And yet, here we are. I'm not saying that he should have privately taken glee in it, don't get me wrong, but... How incompetent does one have to be to post something like that and think they'll get off in the clear? What is someone like that thinking I wonder? No one would even know without that video.

Yes, plus I'm sure they had to stow some gear and supplies. Then stop for gas most likely. In all likelihood, this dude got on his boat, noticed the raccoon, navigated out to sea and started filming because killing things for no reason is cool. Fuck him.

Maybe. But it does seem like he shouldve noticed the raccoon before getting so far out...

Maybe, but again it's the least actually able to be proven part of this whole thing currently.

It's not like there's not enough to go after here without 'what if's'.

I can say that raccoons are excellent at hiding in small dark areas. He could have not noticed them, but honestly even if he didn't he messed up in so many ways regardless.

I love an animals and think the guy was kind of a heartless ass about kicking it off his boat

But raccoons do pose health risks and I dont think the guy deserves his entire life ruined over one mistake. Its not like he could have called animal control to come out to the ocean

Attacked like you said that lawyer should've done to that raccoon?

You claim you love animals but you wanted the lawyer to beat the raccoon to death instead of drown it... That doesn't add up.

I don't want him to kill it at all. but I prefer beating it. it's more merciful. I happen to believe that drowning is one of the worst ways to die. and that is my reasoning. I didn't want it to die at all.
