    A pack of raccoon dogs must be extra vigilant as they move from the forest and into new territory for food. What was your favorite part of this video?

      Unforunately, almost every fur coat you see in the US comes from these animals. Raccoon dogs are the number 1 animal used for their fur (oftentimes labeled as faux fur!). They’re being anally electrocuted in China.

      They're also a massive problem in Mainland Europe. Ever since the Soviets thought it was a good idea to introduce them in the Eastern Bloc back in the late-1920s for their tough skin and fine quality fur after observing the old-ROC, Imperial Japanese and occupied-Korea from a distance. In fact, the Tanuki/Neoguri problem worsened after the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Eastern Bloc and the Soviet Union in the late 1980s, as they spread throughout Europe to places as far west as Central and Southern France and as far south as Northern Italy. For example, since 2009, the Swedish Riksdag EXPLICITLY orders people to shoot Tanuki ON SIGHT because of how destructive they can be. Similar policies exist in the Benelux and Eastern Europe due to the Tanuki's successful ability to out-breed many creatures as a result of the abundance of food and water sources in Europe. In the UK, Tanuki are illegal to own as pets due to their aggression and difficulty to tame and train.
      And people wonder why the United States went to great levels to exterminate Tanuki in the hundreds of thousands back in the 80s when they were hastily imported from Japan.

    Recently, the urban populations have increased so i see them almost everyday near the park.
    They're one of the top predators in Korea. neoguri(🦝 in korean) in Seoul usually feed on insects, wild fruit, and mostly.. cat food😂. At 6 pm they come out clumsily from the bush, force cats away for the feast

      Tanuki is Japanese.
      The raccoon dog lived not only in Japan but also in the East Asian continent and moved from the continent to the island. To call it Tanuki is to ignore other East Asian countries. Call they raccoon dog or Korean raccoon dog as Noguri

      In Mainland Europe, they HAVE to be killed on the spot because of how aggressive they are towards the native wildlife, especially Foxes, Weasels, Badgers and other canids and mustelids. Sweden explicitly orders hunters to target and shoot Tanuki ON SIGHT ever since 2009 for this reason. So while they pose zero threat to humans, for other animals, they are a maurauding horde if left to their devices.
