      The subject of wild animals as pets seems to crop up
      here periodically. My sister used to be the director
      of the Tulsa city zoo, and has been involved with all
      sorts of animals for most of her 46 years. If you'd
      like an intelligent opinion, write to her:
                Niki Ganns
                Rt. 2 box 162
                Collinsville, OK 74021
                or call (918) 371-4193
      She'll be happy to talk to you.

      My general impression of coons is that, like many wild
      animals, they make adorable pets--until they grow up;
      then they become wild 'n' woolly pains in the ass.

      Don't rush into this one.
