I have recently reached out to T'wina Nobles and her staff. I am hopeful to get a response and possibly get a meeting with her! As to everyone wondering on the practicality of this change in legislation, I have looked into cons and have considered them carefully. While we can make their lives easier by aiding them as pets, It's important we have people prepared to take care of them and understand the risk of having them. If people get them before careful research training and getting proper equipment, I fear many raccoons will die either because they will overcrowd humane society's forcing some to be euthanized, or get use to human interaction and struggle too much to survive back in the wild. All that being said here is an article about someone who had researched, was trained and had the proper equipment for aiding a raccoon with her own personal house. Which by the way is illegal to do in Washington State. I believe we can get rid of the 750$ fine and allow people to aid raccoons via own property and housing, Thankyou so much for signing, lets get his reform passed!
