I think killing an animal should be the very last resort when we choose to be intolerant of their natural behavior. Unfortunately it is some times the lazy/easiest choice.

My thoughts/opinions are long on this topic but I will spare you

short version history
My father was a coon hunter
I have had raccoons as pets (not something I promote)
I have been in wildlife rescue/ rehab and education
Currently a wildlife release site

personally I have to admire the adaptability and resourcefulness of this animal.
..a balanced life is worth pursuit.
