Actually pretty cool to help it out. At my house, there is a serious population problem with raccoons. Once a year, usually in December, I dig a hole, throw out some dry dog food, let them congregate, and shoot 20-30 of them. I shovel them into the hole and bury them. It keeps their population under control. If they are left alone, the population of them explodes and they will attack house pets and die horrible deaths due to starvation.
My brother told my niece what I did and she thinks I'm the grim reaper going final solution on the cute raccoons. She absolutely hates me. I don't like doing it, but they turn into a mob quickly. I heard a few had rabies closeby but I've nevver seen one that looked crazy. I was thinking of trapping them in masse the way they trap feral hogs but the traps are expensive compared to just shooting them. I like the high-tech traps though. http://www.boarbuster.com/

At first I was asking why anyone would feed themm right outside their door, but then I thought of someone tresspassing and coming upon an army of Racoons would be awesome!
