What did this to my fence (pen). Worried seems like it’s just been shredded. Scary.

chicken wire aka poultry fencing
Pros: keeps birds in
Cons: does NOT keep predators out
you can see how the raccoons just tore it right up.
to predator proof, use 1/2 hardware cloth instead

That thin chicken wire has been known to be destroyed by raccoons. I'd suggest the rolled 1/2" grid. It's thicker. Also, you will probably only need to wrap the lower 24".
 
Most people recommend 19 gauge 1/2 inch hardware cloth 2 ft out from bottom with house set on pavers or sizable stone stacked around base to prevent digging predators. Good Luck!
 
I wouldn't know, but it look's like whatever did do it wanted in there pretty bad. I bet that it will be back. You might want to fix it, and put up a camera to catch what's doing it.
Yes we did raccoons and we have two layers on inside and one outside

Good luck.
