Jerry closed the coon thread before I could finish this post!
This is not saying that killing a coon is right or wrong, It just give you, and the coon an option that you should consider. If Jerry wants to remove this post, it's his call!
There are ways to get ride of the raccoons without killing them!
I have caught tons of them and didn't have to harm or kill any of them. All you got to do is spend about $20 and a couple hours of time and you can make a trap that will catch those raccoons, possums, skunks, or wild cats. The trap is two foot by two foot square and is three and half feet long. The picture shows you how easy it is and I will be glad to tell you how to make it if you cant figure it out by just looking at the picture. Do yourself and the coons a big favor and make one soon. Once the coon is in the trap all you need to do is put a couple 1 inch dolls rods or ½ pipe through the wire just below the hope of the cage. That way you can carry it to your car or truck without getting bit! If you need more details send me an email and I will send you instructions. This way you win and so does the coon! Take him for a short ride to the nearest rural area and both of you can go back home!
