A lot of things i thought were cute and nice like dolphines, ducks, cats (i saw one cat eat anothers new born), dogs (multiple cases of eating dead owners due to a variety of reasons starting from trying to wake em up to other malicious reasons), hamsters etc turned out to be wrong . Raccoons are the only thing i believe in anymore so give it to me straight are they as they seem ?

    Eat their young when they are in a confined space that appears to not support the population.

    In a sense, we make them eat their young by putting them in cages and breeding them.

    But it is behavior learned in the wild - keep alive only the babies you can actually support, or else everyone dies.
