I know I shouldn't laugh at other people's misfortune, but ... HAHAHAHAHA! XD
I confess to a certain fondness for raccoons, which I think can be traced to a wonderful picture-book I had as a kid called Raccoons Are for Loving and to my cousin E's childhood raccoon obsession; I know all about how destructive and pestiferous they are, how they tip over trash cans and claw open Green Bins and have rabies and so on, but when I see one scuttling across the road at dusk what I'm always really thinking is "Aaaawwww!"
Around here we have groundhogs, and let me tell you, there are few things funnier than a groundhog attempting to achieve a high rate of speed. Except, of course, a groundhog getting slightly shikker on overripe mulberries (there are maybe half a dozen mulberry trees in front of the building where I work) and falling out of a tree.
