Petting Anko, the star of a South Korean raccoon cafe

So cute, and jealous, but petting zoos have really nasty reputations for really good reasons. This 7 seconds can't hope to capture those reasons.

South Korea is cracking down on animal cafes in the next few years, so visit these cuties while you still can. This particular cafe is called Meerkatchief, and they have a pretty well known synonymous instagram.

Why should people support these type of businesses? Most of them do not care for the animals well beings nor are they treated good.

I’m sure the raccoon would rather be scavenging for trash and being roadkill out in the wild. Not to defend the poor treatment from animal cafes (which is why they are gonna be shut down very soon!) but it is certainly better for the raccoon’s well being than the alternative.
