Best Answer

In a natural habitat yes u do, everything is important to the circle of life for example if wolves went extinct the elk, moose, deer and others population would grow to be so big there wouldn't be enough food and a lot of em would die. Wolves usually only kill weak or sick ones, which actually strenthens the herd. Raccoons have a place among this too, if one animal becomes extinct it can make a bunch of others extinct or endangered! DONT KILL RACCOONS!
