Years ago, we had a rabid raccoon show up on the lawn, it was staggering and drooling at the mouth. We called the police and they showed up -- the police officer called called animal control -- they couldn't come out until Monday.
So I said to the cop why don't you just shoot it. Cop replies too much paperwork. The neighbors had small children and the rabid raccoon was a danger.
I went and got a 4lb (1.75kg) long handled drilling hammer and bashed the raccoon's skull in -- had to hit it 4 times while everyone watched. We took a shovel and put it in a garbage can.
They are just big rats with a bit more brainpower.
