My wife and I, together with some neighbors, began feeding the poor feral cats around here several years ago. Then, the coons began showing up and I began to have second thoughts. But suddenly, they all the raccoons disappeared and we didn’t see any for quite a while, months. Now, whenever we see one (on our security cameras), he’s usually not long for this world. I think one of our neighbors may be killing them, and the gentleman’s not going to get any complaints from me! I don’t like to see any animal get hurt, but these things are just too nasty, destructive and unhealthy to have around.
I try to set traps nightly for our yards. I am surprised how many coons, possum, and skunks are roaming our yard at night.
FYI feral cats are vermin linke racoons.
