The effort to seize Pepper the raccoon

Wat we eerst wisten

• Officers sought Pepper under a warrant described by Berman, and Quebec prohibits ordinary pet ownership of raccoons. Berman and Pepper were photographed together on October 26.

Toen nog open

• Whether officers subsequently seized Pepper, whether any fine or charge was issued, and whether an authorized placement can be secured remain unconfirmed.

Waar we op zouden letten

• A confirmed enforcement outcome or a verified permitted destination would change the dispute. No case-specific hearing or deadline has been established.
