What makes them Nazis


Latterlol

If it is what I think it is, then they are the aftermath from when Herman Goering let loose a few Racoons, to "make German fauna(?) richer", that was in 1934…. Those racoons are now probably millions..

So how is this news instead of an ongoing problem


Latterlol

Who knows, I didn’t check out the link, maybe the desease part is new. I should add that they have spread across the continent, not just Germany


JockBbcBoy

So I checked out the [link](https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/28611067/germany-overrun-nazi-raccoons-invading-homes/) and it turns out the raccoon population in Europe is approaching 1 million. They're a nuisance and an invasive species but that seems like all it is.


WhatADoofus

Did they not learn from Australia's follies with introducing non-native species? Though I mean...nazis aren't known for their ability to think logically


Latterlol

Tbf, it almost happened at the same time, and I doubt the Nazis and Australia spred those news around worldwide 😂

Can't you see? It's a high concentration of them. A racooncentration camp if you will

The two populations of raccoons in europe were both created (indirectly) by the nazis. One was a fur farm that was targeted by an ally bomb raid and the critters got free. The other population got its start whrn nazi era government released some on purpose for hunting.

what's next, soviet russian honey badgers?

They wouldn’t give a fuck at all. It would be a whole situation

When the raccoons came for crumbs in the parks they said nothing, for raccoons are adorable. When they ate sunflower seeds out of neighbors bird feeders they said nothing, for it wasn’t our bird feeder…


ubiquitous-joe

Probably not new; years ago I read a Wikipedia blurb about the Nazi’s importing of raccoons.

"Besser Waschbär als Haschbär" (old Bavarian saying).


coleman57

I know waschbar (literally “wash bear”) means raccoon, but what does haschbar mean?


JoLudvS

A pun- Hasch, meaning a Cannabis product in popular language- Bavarian conservative government has a silly problem with that since it became legalized by federal law... and also with 'problematic bears' in the past.


coleman57

That's funny! Oddly, it was just around the time I gave up cannabis that my house started being invaded by the fat trash pandas, but I'm sure it's just a coincidence. So for me, it's besser Haschbar.
