According to a local Instagram posting he has difficulty traversing fence rails.

When he was young, a year ago, a neighbor saw his family helping him as he fumbled.

And so this neighbor says they cut open a hole in their fence at ground level for him.

So some are appearing to enable this one critter.

Also locally - Seattle - local agencies are celebrating, and sometimes incorporating him into their business, including city sanitation departments spicing up pro social sanitation messages about using garbage cans, claiming Jimothy would want it that way. Some of these messages make less obvious sense than others, IMO.

You might enjoy this satire [0], lengthily tiled: "I’m Jimothy, the Short-Spined Raccoon Who Has Taken the Internet by Storm, and the Collective Weight of Your Adoration Is Breaking My Already-Compromised Back"

Are you complaining about people helping a raccoon? The Internet hype is a bit much but why are you framing it like this raccoon should have died years ago.
