Racoons carry a type of Rabies for which their is no human cure. They also carry Leptospirosis, and other parasites.
My mother would pay me to kill the varmints around our house. Squirrels and raccoons like to scavange home insulation to make nests. Recently, a racoon/rodent chewed up the electrical wires in a car that we park outside, it cost over $1000 to repair.
I hunt varmints humanely, without relish, and only if they are causing harm.
Culling overpopulated wildlife is merciful, the alternative is perpetual starvation. Raccoons in urban environments should be dealt with immediately, they must be either relocated, or exterminated.
And some areas require that you be 'humane' .... so after the raccoon has trashed your place and endangered your pets, you must dump it about 5 miles away. Starting the cycle again with a new family. This time with babies. Because we have to be nice.
My pets were is a very dangerous situation because a zombie like raccoon nearby had rabies... and the sight/scent of digs threw it into a rage, it would starts chasing them down. When the dogs weren't around to trigger it, it wasn't really crazed, more of a zombie and unafraid of humans.
I think that since raccoons in their right mind are afraid of dogs, with the rabies destroying their brain, it flips and they become so aggressive running after them.
Listen, Feed the raccoons a balanced diet if you see them and their friends they invite.. You have the money for internet you have the money to feed raccoons.. People I know that feed raccoons for 50 yrs know RABIES from Racoons are the ones that are malnourished.. YOU WONT HELP THEM they get rabies.. They love cat food
