Please don’t recommend releasing raccoons. They often carry rabies and it is illegal to release them.

Also speaking as someone who used to live in an area with “few people”, it’s distressing dumped and possibly rabid animals near our families and livestock.

I agree about drowning. These animals should be killed in a more ethical way.

There's a Nature Area near my home where I release my caught raccoons back into 'nature'.

The varmit’s have eaten my chickens and ducks; but I still won’t kill them for doing so.

The NA also gets any skunks, possums or ground hogs that wander into my traps.
