I know some people don’t like raccoons. They tend to get into garbage cans and scatter stuff about, making a mess. But… I’m sorry, just no. NO.

VIDEO: BLM Supporters Run Over, Beat Raccoon to Death

Warning: the video there is no freakin’ joke. Whether you like trash pandas or not, what these “people” do to this animal is unconscionable.They don’t just kill this animal, they cause it great and extended pain… and fear. And they – a sizable group – laugh gleefully as this happens. They take pleasure not in the killing of an animal for the food or resources it can provide, or as a way to defend against a dangerous predator… no, their pleasure comes from the pain and fear they inflict on a creature that they get under their power. The guy who filmed it – and laughed about it – then goes on to use the video to *support* BLM. I don’t generally want to link to images and/or videos of animal abuse, but here it’s important to know what kind of people are out there. It has long been known that those who abuse animals often go on to abuse humans. What these “protestors” do to this raccoon they will soon try to do to *you.* I would be utterly unsurprised if it turns out that one or more of those involved have already attempted murder or succeeded at it.

There is a lust for bloodshed and pain and violence here that should not be ignored and cannot be understood by civilized, intelligent people. Don’t assume that it’ll be sated with the screams of a small creature, or with the flames of an unoccupied business.

Anyone think PETA will take them on, and do so effectively?
