I actually do have raccoon proof doors so they cannot come in on their own unless I leave the door open. I have tossed scraps out in the forest or left dog food for them.
Honestly I have had more problems with some pet dogs than the raccoons. neighbors complaining about dogs barking, dogs crapping around the yard or jumping the fence, digging under the fence, tearing up kids toys. Dogs digging in my garden or trampling it down.
Animals are animals and they do what animals do. I live in a canyon... of the coons get to be too many I will take them up into the forest during the spring when food is plentiful.
