Your equating our duty to them with what they would do to an injured human defies all logic. God has not given them that responsibility, nor the intellect to realize it.

Absolutely.

Our species is supposed to be the one with the large brain and morals. Some humans are savages, but some of us try to be better than that when we deal with other people and with animals.

Maybe I’m missing something here but coons aren’t “good neighbors”. American indians called them “little bears” for good reasons. If you’re so unfortunate as to have a sow and her get move in you’re in for trouble. Racoons - like most species of NA bears - are omnivores, feeding upon whatever’s available. Shoots, sprouts and your garbage are grist for their mill; as are mice, voles, birds/eggs and stream prey, IOW pretty much anything they can catch/eat.

Coons are territorial, meaning once you’ve got’em getting rid of them means killing the coons. Trapping and moving usually doesn’t work - unless you move them to a more opportune food source. >PS
