Raccoons tend to be a hassle to families. A family that have a pet may set their cat food outside in a dish, may find that they have not been feeding their cat, but rather a raccoon that enters in the night. Also they rip into garbage bags making nothing but a mess. There are also many raccoons that are rabid. Those are just a few examples of why people kill raccons.

People hunt raccoons for several reasons.1.) They want to remove animals that have turned into pests.
2.) They hunt them for food.
3.) They hunt them for their skins.
4.) Some just hunt them for the 'sport' of killing something.
Raccoons primarily kill small prey items such as insects, grubs, earthworms, crayfish, snails, slugs, fish, frogs, snakes, lizards, birds and small mammals such as mice. They may also kill poultry, such as chickens, if they are not secured at night.
For the same reasons most other species fight: for food, mating and territory.
Raccoons are annoying because they tear things up. They are also annoying because they stink and can wreak havoc on your yard and trash.
