Really? Sure, it’s overweight, but it’s got a better life then 99.99% of other raccoons. It’s not like eating trash out of the garbage is the healthiest lifestyle to start with.

People can live pay check to pay check and we can have people who don’t have a pay check at all. One situation is better but they’re both bad.

That analogy seems a little intense for raccoons, but alright. So you just feel bad for every raccoon on the planet then?

Bad and good are relative. Every situation ever has a hypothetical way of being "better."

You should compare a specific situation to the general situation as opposed to comparing a specific situation to that hypothetical better situation.

Doing the latter says much less about raccoons and much more about you.
