This brought to mind a vacation I was on years ago in the mountains of Calif. We had a condo with a retaining wall patio out back, backing up to the mountain. We had my farorite raccoon visitors with their babies. The babies were playing around in back if the retaining wall & between it & the mountain. Mommy raccoon didn't want her babies playing there & grabbed the closest one out onto the hill & started scolding it while holding on & kinda shaking it. The other baby gave mommy raccoon wide berth & got away from the retaining wall where they were playing.....learned by example.

HOWEVER as soon as mommy raccoon left the babies went right back to playing behind the retaining wall. Well that scolding didn't work.

The raccoons I feed now on my farm give their mommy raccoon priority with the food as she will chase or just gnarl at them. I dod like with horses....always put out one more feeding dish than number I am feeding....but yes, even wildlife as well as mommy dogs demand respect & obeying their rules of their young & don't just let them get away with whatever they want to do & their young don't grow up claimimg abuse because their parents didn't let them get away with everything they did.
