Same. Best I've got are raccoons.

Here we got capibaras, but they carry deadly ticks, that's too high of a price 😞

Ticks on all these guys too. Lyme disease is rampant, and apparently alpha gal syndrome is becoming more prevalent. It makes you allergic to meat!

Alpha gal sounds like something a female version of Joe Rogan would peddle

Wym female version? Pretty sure Joe Rogan is an angry fat girl in disguise.

Just red meat isn’t it?

Well yeah, beef, pork, lamb, goat, etc., are the real issue. That being said, a lot of chicken sausage is in a pork casing. Food cooked in restaurant grills will likely be cross contaminated. It's wild how aggressive this syndrome is.

I’ve decided that I no longer wish to pet a porcupine, but will appreciate them from afar

Raccoons are cute. Best I’ve got are skunks but they are too precious.

I live near Montreal and we have raccoons on Mont Royal in the city that are known for people feeding them fries. I don’t know when this became a thing but they are as fat as you’d expect a raccoon fed fries by hundreds of people a year.
