I’ve never heard of packs of raccoons attacking people. They’ve lost their fear, due to people being too tolerant of their foraging and possibly even feeding them, that or they’re rabid. They need to get rid of them. Yes, they can be cute, but they can do serious damage and can be mean, too.
Years ago before I went into WWII we had a neighborhood baseball team that moved around town playing other teams , no adult interferences at the time. One day we cornered a raccoon under a black pastor’s porch and killed it. The pastor suggested we take the raccoon to one of his congregation on our way to the main park for a swim. We took the dead coon to the man who said he would cook it and invited us to stop by when returning from the park. We did just that and the man gave us a taste of southern cooked coon. As I recall it was very tasteful.
