That's called giving advice. Sometimes the majority of the advice given isn't so popular with some. I gave advice on the information that was provided, not my situation as you accuse.I know, I was referring to those who only gave the advice of shooting the raccoon. 'Cause there was at least three of them and only one of you so maybe the OP missed yours. I didn't mean to get on y'all's case, it just seemed that most people just think of their own situation and don't stop to consider that the OP's might be different...
Your correct, we don't know the exact situation the OP is in. It's up to the OP to gather info and decide what's best.
