It’s not a hard problem to solve, raccoons are very smart, and if you stop feeding him, they’ll eventually disperse.

In the meantime, it’s kind of a cute oafish story. Feeling a wild raccoon isn’t going to make it forget how to scavenge, or take care of itself. If you live in a remote area, probably not doing any long-term damage to their wild habits, aside from this one feeding ground they will have to move on from.

Aside from her not having a game plan for getting around a raccoon bum rush, the biggest concern I would have would be that raccoons are a reservoir species for rabies in the area.

Not sure when exactly this raccoon party fully kicked off, but they’re breeding season is spring and summer, which I believe coincide with a spike in rabies transmission…so…not ideal.
