Distressed racoon at Patrick Teoh's restaurant
 

I was wondering if everyone can do something about this - maybe make some noise to pressure him? My colleague was at Damansara Village Steamboat, 1067, Jalan Jenjarum, Kg. Sg. Kayu Ara, Off Jalan SS23/10, Damansara Jaya, Tel: 03-7803 1832 last night and he said he saw a racoon in a small cage which had a bright light shining on it the whole time. Racoons are nocturnal creatures and he said it was pacing about restlessly and banging itself against the cage. The restaurant is owned by Patrick Teoh.

Would anybody know if you need a permit to keep a racoon. Need some facts b4 calling the other owner Allan at 012-3988187. Feel free to call and bug him if any of you are experts on keeping wildlife.

Hi Andrew. I am most distressed to hear this. I agree with the complaints about the poor treatment of the raccoon. It should never have happened. The raccoon was given to us by someone who got it as a pet and then got tired of it. And we thought we were giving it a home. I have already given instructions that the animal be handed over to people who can adequately care for it. We obviously cannot release it into the wild as it is not an animal from here. One of our partners has good connections with people who operate petting zoos and know how to care for the animal properly. We sincerely hope that the raccoon will find a good home. And we sincerely apologise to anyone who may have been offended by our purely innocent act.
