What are some humane ways to kill a raccoon in a cage? So you have captured a raccoon, and want to dispose of it now. Letting it go somewhere away from your home you have decided is not an option and you may not have animal control around to take it off your hands. Also, you don't want to just let it go because it may come right back. That leaves you with lethal options are you only real solution.

While you have decided that this is the best thing to do, you don't want to be ruthless about it. You see this as a living creature, and so you would like to be humane in your treatment of these animals. If that is the case, here are some options to help you accomplish your mission.

Poisons are the least humane way, depending upon the amount you give and the kind that is used. Not all of them work quickly, and may make the animal suffer a lot. This may also be true if you do not use enough poison to do the job right away. This can cause the raccoon to suffer immensely, and if you were trying to avoid this, then you need to do it right.

There are poisons, like cyanide and strychnine, that work quickly and effectively. These are just a couple of the choices out there. What makes them so good is that they work quickly and they are tasteless for the most part. This means that if it is mixed with some other kind of treat the raccoon will most likely eat it because it doesn't have any of the flavor of the poison. This is why these are so effective.

As a note of caution you want to make sure that you do not leave this any place that your children, pets or anyone can find and accidentally swallow. Again, if someone tastes one of these poisons they may not realize how dangerous it is and get sick and potentially die. You have to be careful in where you store it.

There are also many different devices where you can simply put it against the raccoon and a harpoon like mechanism is activated that stabs the raccoon quickly and ends it life. This works quite well, but it can cause a bit of a mess with blood, and might take the raccoon up to a minute before it dies. It is still a good option if you do not want poisons in your home.
