hmm interesting. I think its a little over board with charging the guy with animal cruelty.
Maybe its the way I grew up with ratting terriers and a Bouvier killing machine and having the terriers trained to kill varmin but a pest is a pest is still a pest. And I see a raccoon as a pest.
There are no raccoons where I live, but if there were, they would be seen as a pest.
Dogs know how to kill quickly and efficantly and I see nothing wrong with what the dog did. And like Grace said I bet the dog was not even trained to get the racoon on command he might of just enticed the dog with exciting words. If a dog with prey drive sees an animal like a racoon its going to go after it no matter if you tell it to or not.
