I don't get it. Killing and eating a raccoon: animal cruelty. Killing and eating a deer: sport. I disagree with both, obviously, but the inconsistency has me confused.

My grandparents used to eat them pretty regularly and I've actually had a small taste of one once. I was too freaked out to have more than a taste. Even though it may be a little irrational, I can't associate racoons with food.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Why not? Raccoons associate trash with food. You're merely fighting back by gunning them down and eating their flesh right in front of the victim's relatives. "Yeah, you see that, bitch! I'm eating your daddy! That's what you get for getting into my trash!"</div>
