A baby pet raccoon has been euthanized after a woman took the potentially rabies-infested animal to a nail trimming store - and let customers kiss it.
The owner brought the raccoon into a Petco in Maine, US, for a nail trimming service on Tuesday where the animal was handled and kissed by customers after she requested the pet's nails were trimmed.
After hearing customers had kissed the animal, there were concerns people may have been exposed to rabies, as raccoons are of the most common carriers of the virus in Maine, according to the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
