A man is in trouble because his dog stuck to it's nature. Personally I think this is wrong on too many levels to count
I'm a great fan of hunting dogs. If you've ever worked with a well trained dog I guarantee you would be impressed. Even my wife's little King Charles Spaniel, image of affection and sweetness that she is, has plenty of hunter in her nature. And everywhere that I've ever lived, raccoons are considered a nuisance. So it's just wrong to dispense punishment for something like this.

I grew up in a home with an English Springer Spaniel. Not the little yappy ones, but a female that weighed over 50 lbs. She pointed birds on instinct (she also used to point the refrigerator.. she developed a bit of a weight problem later in life). She was such a natural that our neighbor, an avid upland game hunter, wanted to purchase her. We originally obtained the dog from the SPCA.
She was also good at killing rats. She would go down to the river, hunt, and retrieve river rats by the score.
I guess in this day and age my father would face criminal charges for allowing the dog to keep the vermin population at bay.
We live in strange times...
