This summer, entrepreneur Kevin Rose awoke to the cries of his dog, Toaster. Rose found his dog on a stairwell outside his apartment, battling (none-too-successfully) a raccoon. Acting to protect his dog, Rose tossed the masked attacker down the stairwell. Video from security cameras recorded the encounter, and Rose placed it on the YouTube (the video became an Internet sensation):
Do you think Rose was justified in tossing the raccoon? I’ll say yes, the circumstances were out-of-the-ordinary, and the trespassing varmint had it coming. What do you think?
Since this time, by the way, Rose believes he’s caught the raccoon that attacked his canine. Here was his Tweet after the capture:
We got him. #missionaccomplished #usa #raccoon.
the racoon had it coming
That raccoon should should learn that those who attack by the staircase fall by the staircase. 😉
raccoons are sneaky and evil
