Just wondering, what was the reasoning behind dispatching a raccoon Vs
relocating it?

Relocating wildlife means they need to find food sources and shelter in an unfamiliar area. Depending on the time of year this could cause a long and painful death. At any time of year it could mean swift death to a predator because the animal hasn't yet found new shelter.

I live in the woods. It quickly looks like you've driven past the homes and into the woods. People stop to release animals 100 yards up the road at the end of a side road. Without meaning to, it's easy to cause a problem for someone else.

In some places animal control will take the pest. In other places game wardens are the people you need to talk with. Out here in the middle of no where we shoot and dispose of them.
