It is illegal to keep raccoon’s as pets in B.C. and by feeding them inside or outside the home, people are in fact harming the animals. A number of people think they are helping raccoon’s by feeding them, sustaining their bad behaviour and inevitably end up killing them with kindness. Others will even attempt to keep and raise baby raccoons. In B.C, they can carry a roundworm parasite that is very dangerous to humans and is passed through their feces. Don’t feed the raccoons; make sure you aren’t making your home an attractive place to stay for raccoons and doing so causes them to they lose their fear of humans. This makes them more likely to being hit by cars or trapped and killed. Check that garbage bins and composts are secured, bird feeders are not overflowing with seeds and pets are fed inside and no pet food is left outside. So if you have raccoons, encourage them to move along.
