2. Raccoons are cute but not the best neighbors.

They can be devastating to wild life and have a lot of fun in your garbage. Also, they have little hands like people so they are able to do a lot more damage than your average dog or cat. Other than that, I think they have a place on this planet like the rest of us, so I don't approve of killing them when they get pesky. There are other ways to deter them. However, I'm suspicious that the large amount of brush cleared might be the problem. The brush is home to a variety of fauna that the raccoons probably fed on. When the food supply was gone, the raccoons moved into their home.
