I looked it down and it ran away.
Raccoon Ct. in San Rafael. I knew a guy who trapped and killed dozens with a .22lr. Put them in the garbage.
Saw Buddy the Elf get attacked by one, looked dangerous to me.
My uncle had a pet raccoon, it was pretty friendly
Raccoons are like people but smarter, more resourceful, and more determined.;-)
I spent a few years working at an old steel mill. It was located along a river. I never saw a single rat the whole time I was there.
But we always had to approach the garbage cans carefully. Because the chances were fair that there’d be a raccoon rummaging around inside. And those critters sure didn’t like to be disturbed.
You’d think the mill would have installed raccoon-proof garbage cans. But they never did.
They will kill pets and chickens.
They were dangerous for my chickens.
Just my guess this article is written by AI. lots of repetition and long time between saying anything of substance.
I catch the pests in live traps and transport them at east 6 miles from my property. Then I open the trap after they were in there all night they are plenty aggressive (Read: Pissed off in human terms) but do run away and usually up the closest tree. The 6 mile rule is a must or they will find their way back.
They love peanuts and apples and sometimes bologna. The babies are adorable but grow more skittish as they age. Don’t usually show up until after twilight. Only seen one this winter so not sure where they’re hiding away. I keep a window open in the garage with plenty of beds around, so I assume some are in there with a local cat.

not if cooked properly...
Racoons most often win the battles against rats.
A 50lb raccoon...right.
35 is considered massive unless it’s a pet then they get fat.
If they’re out in the daytime that’s unusual, if they show no fear that’s a sign they’re not good so shoot em, if they attack then game on.
They can drown dogs.
Twenty-plus years on the farm, here in Southern Ohio, and I’ve trapped dozens and dozens of trash pandas. They are the most destructive of the pesky wildlife we deal with out here.
They love cat food, so we have to keep it in latched bins with tension straps as locks.
I use large marshmallows stuffed into tuna cans as bait in the traps. We can’t legally relocate them in Ohio, so the dumb ones that trip the traps I have kill. I don’t like to, but a single .22LR round is a lot cheaper than 30-lb bags of cat food.
Funniest/cutest of which is a resident who asked me if I could stop a pesky racoon that just began knocking on his porch door for the last few nights at 9pm. Of course I told him just to ignore it, but I followed up and after a month when the neighbor came home, I found out he had been feeding the coon for years every night at 9. The coon learned to knock when he arrived, I suppose.
Anyway, with his primary snack bar closed, Rocky figured he'd try the next house.
If they are not guilty of something, why do they were masks to work
Yes. Nasty, disease carrying rodents (essentially)
