Yes, raccoons must be killed if they're hanging around. They will wipe out an entire flock. I trap them and shoot them. A .22 short rifle round right behind the ear should do the trick. If it's still breathing after doing it's floppy freak-out, shoot it again. They're tough little suckers and sometimes it takes more than one shot. I also have a .410, but that seems a bit overkill (for me anyway) and a bit more messy.
