Anime Series Leads to Raccoon Crisis in Japan | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Japan is battling a surge of destructive raccoons. A popular anime triggered Japan's raccoon problem. "Rascal the Raccoon" gained huge popularity in the 1970s Japan. So, people began importing raccoons to keep them as pets. About 1,500 raccoons were imported every year until the early 2000s. And now, they are wreaking havoc in 44 out of 47 Japanese prefectures. They are destroying crops and infrastructure. Now, Japan calls raccoons "invasive alien creatures". Tokyo has declared war on raccoons with hotlines and traps. But can Japan win this war? After all, raccoons quickly multiply and adapt to different environments. Can Japan fix its raccoon problem? Palki Sharma brings you the report.

We had a raccoon infestation in the northeast US in the early nineties until nature took care of it with a raccoon rabies epidemic that killed over 90% of them, thus putting nature back in balance. Something that we learned back then was that raccoon fecal matter can contain a parasite that is very bad for people.

@ksoh1oe276 14 дней назад

@@azul93gt38 by the looks of it, you are a lady who finds raccoons cute, I don’t think I’ll be able to convince you but still I’ll try. 1. Aren’t eskimos Asian?- you just described a huge demographic with just a minority of people. Asia ranges from humid places like Indonesia all the way to cold places like Russia(yes some part of Russia is Asia). Even people very close to each other have adapted differently. Someone from Himachal Pradesh(India) is more adapted to cold than someone in Delhi. A person in Delhi is more adapted to handling pollution than someone from Himachal. 2.Many asians live in Himalaya- someone from Tibet, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu can live in Himalayas, I, from Delhi can’t. And we are both Asians. 3.Darwin’s theory is a joke- yeah I agree, there are loopholes in it. 3. Raccoons are thriving in Japan so they have adapted- This is where I disagree with you the most and would like you to change your opinion. Raccoons are INVASIVE SPECIES to Japan. Just search on the internet what happened when European starlings(birds) native to Europe were introduced to America, they WRECKED THE ECOSYSTEM . Invasive species are harmful because they kill native animals of the place, they plummet resources and if uncontrolled they breed rapidly. There’s a reason why it is suggested not to release fishes like goldfish, guppies into rivers and lakes. You can further look into it on the internet

We have to understand that the entire ecosystem is in a tipping phase where everything will multiple with 7x times using the 1:7 Theory. The nature is entering into a catastrophic zone but before it happens the ecosystem is preparing itself in the best possible manner. From seedling outburst to raccoon growing population, everything will multiple and then a catastrophic event, neutralizing everything. The time is limited, the only message we wish to convey is preserve the genetic resources now.

Dear Palki Sharma, As managing director, do you review all the presentations that carry your name on RU-vid? Go through the clips on this report, and truthfully tell me what you see and hear about "invasive species". I see and hear something different and honestly, I was drawn to a "hidden" aspect of this report, besides the wild raccoon in Japan, rodent, snail ... and yes, if the topic is "invasive species" (clips of bustling African (?) community), then perhaps the author and narrator is himself carefully looking in the mirror, and then thinking of whether he has the right (as one in many invasive species) to stand on the soil he currently occupies.
