Raccoons (not tanukis) are an invasive species in Japan that is highly destructive to both agriculture and the natural ecosystem there, so... yeah, culling them is sadly the best option.
(All because of irresponsible pet owners becoming enamored with raccoons because of an anime in the seventies.)
This kid is so fluffy wuffy!
Can't be Helped...
We Can't Let Raccoons Go After All...
Huh?If it isn't Tact-san!What are you doing in a place like this?Hello, sempais!Phew!The raccoons are tearing up the fields, so...
Tact-chan is an uma who has received special training. This is dangerous, so good kids shouldn't try this at home!
...I was catching them.
SO CUTE!!
