It’s just absurd the way they acted like these people were violent drug dealers or something. Like yeah rabies is a real concern, but that was absolutely the wrong way to go about the situation. I can never understand why police departments have such disproportionate responses at the weirdest times and other times hardly do anything at all.
I do get that it's not a great idea for people to keep wild animals as pets, But a few people keeping a squirrel or a raccoon as pets isn't a huge threat. They could have confiscated these animals and put them in isolation and monitored them for signs of rabies. The chances are extremely remote that they would have them. Though keeping a wild raccoon would be a bit risky, as they are pretty known for having rabies and distemper. However, if he had it for a while and it didn't leave his apartment, the chances it would have something are very low.
