Let’s say I’ve been selectively breeding Raccoons for intelligence on a Ranch in Wyoming for decades. They have now requested joining society. Who would I talk to about this? And how well do you think this would go?

No formal intelligence tests have been made but they are able to communicate through sign language and writing. I worry they may not yet be ready for the outside world. But they would like to meet more humans and get a better education then I can provide. I am also worried the government would want to have them all killed if I came forward. What should I do? Hypothetically of course.
