This seems like sound advice …

Police Department is warning everyone … stay away from ‘zombie raccoons.’

I understand they only hang around the trashcans of medical facilities, looking through the medical waste for discarded brains.

That warning came just in time. My dog has been straining his leash to play with the local zombie raccoon pack and, gosh darn it, I assumed it would be safe enough. I guess I was nostalgic because I can still fondly remember when I saw Zombie Raccoons open for the Beaver Brown Band at Varmintfest ’77.
