You could wear a heavy glove, but the idea of him expecting such from someone who doesn't know him is a fair consideration. I suspect Dorothy Parshall might come along, soon. She knows a lot about them and runs several rescue/educational things about them.
I see another, later one, a true story, also, which looks worth reading: Ringo the Robber Raccoon.
I agree about the petty bs on this thread. There ARE ways to comment and disagree without getting down in the gutter. I understand gnu's comments, but I don't like that such things happen. I am heartened to hear Bobert made the effort to save 28; that is fantastic.
