Feed it food. Did I say food? I meant Tiberium. Watch him mutate, then train him to be some kind of rabid deathbringing wereracoon tiberium fiend.
…What, it sounds like a good idea to me.

I’d go for the easy solution:
_BANG_
And then hide the evidence of the horrible, \horrible\, murder you just commited (/sarcasm), or send it to the “tree-hugging fuckballs”…
Your choice.

I’d suggest Val’s plan wiuth a slight change – instead of releasing it in a far away place, take it to the Human Society 'n stuff.
But I must admit if I were in your shoes, I’d adopt the raccoon.

Actually, believe it or not, the Humane Society is certainly not treehugging. Nor is it humane.

I’m surprised so many people actually endorsed the idea of killing the raccoon. I really do not like killing anything unecessarily (not even insects), so I’m going to advocate a non-violent alternative. I believe you can get traps at a hardware store or something similar like Home Depot. My family used to have a raccoon problem, and we got a trap or two for those suckas. We may even still have one that you can borrow, Frame… let me call my dad and find out if we do.

I’m sorry, I know this is a fairly serious topic, but I cannot help but laugh out loud at some of the “solutions”.
Tree-hugging fuckballs…heh. 🙂 :o 🙂

\That\ comment was definately unnecessary.
Everyone has different opinions, and even if it’s a joke it isn’t fun.

Just buy a trap- they aren’t very expensive, and it’s very safe. Raccoon bites are exceedingly nasty, and you’d definitely have to get a shot.

I haven’t posted in a while but I thought I’d throw my two pesos in here. I agree that the non-violent solutions are usually the best, but it makes you wonder… if you leave the racoon alone, will it procreate and soon enough you’ll have a racoon with babies storming your food? Anyway, my suggestion to you would be to kill it, but then bury it somewhere with a small cross or something. Any moral reservations you have should be put to rest if you give the thing a proper burial and mark the grave. Best of luck to ya!👋

We’re all creatures of nature… just think of this as a process in which nature is kept in a balance.

Take an all nighter and camp right at the dog door with a cage. When the racoon comes through, snap it shut.

This was the best idea so far. I suggest a very, very spice hot sauce mixed in with the cat food. Or something bitter.

Don’t leave food out for it, that’ll just make it return amd never leave. I would suggest just not leaving out food until it wanders off. If you’re going to kill it though don’t use poison, at the very least shoot it or try to kill it quickly.

God damn, don’t kill it! The best way to solve this is to discourage it.

I thought racoons were one of those animals that’ll eat damn near anything…
If you can’t give it food so awful that it goes away [I suggest McDonalds hamburgers or anything soy-based] guess try to move your pet food (and for that matter people food) out of range for the racoon.
Failing that, try to use traps as Kero suggested.
The other solution is to leave out food for it…food that’s been drugged. I dunno, some kind of tranq. or something to put it out for 6 hours. Plenty of time to dump it in a box, drive out, and relocate it, or something. (Just make sure it’s down and out before you start touching it. You don’t wanna get bit by one of the little buggers.)
If you can’t convince it to leave you alone and/or go off in search of easier food, you tried your best to reach a non-violent and humane solution. Cap its ass with a clean conscience and dump it in an unmarked grave in your backyard, Slobodan Milosovic style.\*
[\* That’s not TOO offensive to any of y’all, is it? I blame that damn “which dictator are you?” test I found a couple weeks back…]

At most you should just feed it a mild poison to make it a little sick, like bug spray.
