Obese Raccoons Go On A Diet - And It Works! | The Dodo

I love how disgusted Hillary is by the guy’s audacity to want to use his deck 😂

That was funny af lmfao ngl my friend. The snarling or hissing that Hilary did was funny as hell hahaha but at the same time she had eggs so u can see why she did what did so it’s understandable 💯💯💯

Dear cougar owner: You are correct, it’s not a pet and therefore you shouldn’t be treating him as such.

60% of humanity is evil. Animals don’t know evil. That’s the difference.

[@HighConCannibal]

Over feeding is as much animal cruelty as under feeding. Sadly many people see it as showing love, but in the long run they become big, thicc and sick.

[@Glum1964]

They do the same with their kids, usually. My roommate in my younger days was the sweetest lady, whose sister and nephew lived just a few streets away. The nephew was at my home quite often. And my roomie would PLY him with sweets. This kid was 9 years old and weighed 205 pounds. He was practically force-fed junk food and fast food, because these two women grew up dirt-poor in the hills near Rogersville, Tennessee. The amazing thing is, he got up to close to 400# before HS Gradiation. But when he moved out of his mom’s house, he began losing weight. I saw him 10,12 years later, and he was a tall, handsome and well built young man. Not sure what the lesson is, but don’t feed your kid junk food every day. Of course a sweet is fine on occasion, as is fast food, but not DAILY!

[@DOUBLEDOODLEOREO]

Kinda like Americans, big, thicc, and sick. We are overfed my the industrial food complex.

[@ophelias4172]

In this case I wouldn’t call it being intentionally cruel. More like lack of education on the former owner’s part.

That dog looks so uncomfortable. It’s not showing any signs at all of being happy to spend time with the cougar.

[@1HPSmurf]

​@@faioraIf the dog was uncomfortable,he won't be sitting like that. U can't make an animal sit calmly like that if he doesn't want to....they'll move away quickly.

[@faiora]

@@1HPSmurf you can absolutely get a dog to stay in an uncomfortable situation, or even a dangerous situation. If your dog loves and trusts you (and has a reasonable amount of training, so they can understand what you want) they may listen to you even when their life is threatened. Dogs are incredibly loyal and self sacrificing for those they care about.

[@FeezFBaby]

@@faioraUr tripping smh. U get that from 30-60 sec video of them sitting together??? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Do u kno what an uncomfortable dog looks like? Lmfao. When they’re uncomfortable, they won’t stay in the same spot for a long time. They’ll want to leave 💯💯💯

[@katelynclasen7474]

What is even cooler about that dolphin rescue was the dolphin they saved was an incredibly rare and endangered Irrawaddy dolphin, with less than 100 individuals still populating the wild! Incredible!

[@Kat.CVT1983]

Do you know why they went so far to release it instead of just moving it out to deeper water?

[@FeezFBaby]

Wow I did not kno that so thanks for that info my friend. Let’s hopefully hope that with a lil intervention & help from scientists/people that they can save that species of dolphins so they don’t become extinct & the same goes for the beautiful snow leopard🙏🙏🙏🤞🤞🤞💯💯💯

@@Kat.CVT1983 it mightve been a situation where that was the best option for the moment. Dolphins have great tracking skills so maybe its pod found them afterwards

Seeing that blind cougar made me sad. Im so glad hes living a great life but it just makes me sad.

[@TallulahFoxxx]

Us humans have that natural response, but animals are much more resilient than us 😝 They mostly adapt really well because their survival instincts are so strong, but also because unlike humans, they don’t really dwell on what they’re missing out on ☺️ A friend’s cat had a brain tumour that caused him to go blind but luckily, the tumour was easily removed! He’s healthy now, but the blindness was permanent. At first, he was just learning to adjust but unlike humans (who would understandably be upset and overwhelmed at permanently losing their sight so quickly, getting distraught they’ll never see their kids smile again etc), he didn’t have the struggle of all that ☺️ My friend just had to think of different ways to play with him and help him use his hearing skills to navigate instead! He jumps into cardboard boxes, she softly taps or scratches different areas (like a little mouse haha), and he “pounces” 😝💖 He’s a happy boy and other than occasionally running into walls when he has the zoomies, he manages to have a content life with blindness, the same way he did when he could see 💖

[@lisanidog8178]

So neat that you’ll hopefully have new generations of Canadian Geese taking over your deck and flower pot and raising their goslings. It’s not just a flower pot anymore but a special nest. Hope you get to enjoy new geese for years to come. You are the chosen one. Out of all the decks and all the flower pots yours was chosen.

[@MentallyBorn80sBaby]

The way that raccoon🦝SNATCHED that carrot🥕from the girl, IMMEDIATELY reminded me of those cute and funny Japanese coin banks where your press the button on them and they have a cat that peeks through the top and just snatches the coin into the coin bank🪙👛!!!!!

A guy who calls himself the Raccoon Whisperer in Canada feeds wild ones - dozens of them - hot dogs and cookies. They're all this big and it's heartbreaking to see. He's got all these followers who decry anyone for even politely asking that they be given healthy fare. All animal lovers are not alike. ❤

[@keyofallworlds7549]

So I’m subbed to his channel, I agree he should be giving them healthier foods, but I don’t remember them being as big as these two.

[@EmersumBiggins]

Jim definitely feeds them too much bad food. I leave dry cat food on my porch year round for my raccoons, and when they have their litters, I feed the little ones bread, grapes, and sunflower seeds. When they reach about 4-1/2 months old at the middle of August, they move on to find their own homes.

[@mortalclown3812]

​@@keyofallworlds7549 Yikes, I guess I exaggerated. It's kind of distressing to see when good food costs the same. I know they mean well, but his stubbornness is... just that. Take care ❤

Yeh. Boxes and boxes of broken biscuits. After a bazillion salty hotdogs. All I think of is the salt content. Then when I saw the biscuits I was horrified.

Absolutely loving the longer compilations by The Dodo channel, and depicting the wonderful humans that are working tirelessly for the prevention of unnecessary cruelty, abuse and suffering of our beloved, animal kingdom members. And quite possibly, the best part about this entire video was at the very end, upon seeing the level of sheer joy and jubilation by so many of the natives, who are clearly determined to help their indigenous animal species of all kinds, safely make it in an increasingly hostile and rapidly shrinking world, that's relentlessly encroaching upon the natural habitat, and as a direct result, is exposing the animal kingdom to all manner of dangers and difficulties that requires as many good humans as is possible to continue with the miraculous rescues such as we watched in this video. ❤❤❤

[@indigowolf556]

Amazing stories!!! Where I used to live at one time there was a raccoon and she was stealing the cat food I was putting out for the stray cats. She got pretty but at least these raccoons now have a place where they can do exercise and they have one another and their weight loss journey is magnificent. And the goose always coming back to the same flower pot and then having babies was so heartwarming. I have never heard a bird do that sound before it sounded like a cat hiss. The cougar was beautiful. I love all animals and the big cats always hold a special place in my heart. And the way that this woman respected the cougar not wanting to really make it a pad and play with it and put clothing on it and make it like a house cat but she respected the fact that this animal could not go back into the wild so she treated it respectfully while taking care of it and that's an important thing. And a big big thank you to all of those people who helped that dolphin. Care comes in all shapes and sizes and comes from old people's all over the world their compassion to save animals whether they have whiskers pause feathers or fins is truly amazing❤❤❤❤

As a veterinary technician I had occasion to work with a pet raccoon named Freddy. He was almost 50 pounds, and of course as a result of his obesity he was also diabetic. Unfortunately he passed away recently as the owner refused all advice to bring his weight down to get him to a healthier body condition and was not very good about managing his diabetes properly either. It was very frustrating and sad to not be able to help the poor guy. Some people just don't understand that over feeding has a drastic, negative impact on the life expectancy of an animal (or person, for that matter!) and use it as a way to show how much they love their pets. In actuality they are slowly killing them instead. It's an issue I deal with every day in my job. Sometimes you have success and get through to the owners, but frequently it just feels like a waste of breath to try and make them understand the damage they are doing to their beloved companions and that over feeding is just as bad as under feeding.
