Raccoons are not cute cuddley little creatures. They are very vicious destructive predators.
We’ve watched them attack smaller game such as rabbits for a meal. I have trail cam pics of raccoons cornering a house cat with that cat never to be seen again. I’ve live trapped them and they are extremely vicious.
Small animals in trees do not stand a chance. We’ve watched house cats climb trees. Their rate of climb is nothing compared to a coon, as we’ve watched videos where they do not climb trees, they run up trees.
We live in the forest and they are a top nuisance that our state allows to be hunted year around. They are one of the few animals that can be legally hunted at night with a flashlight.
Raccoons are on my hit list.
So true.
