My friend in a very densely populated suburban neighborhood with neighbors who are PETA members had a racoon problem.
I set my havahart trap with a chicken bone left from dinner (tied the bone to the trap mechanism as the raccoon can be smart arou that.
In a day, we had the racoon.
I brought it to the garage where prying eyes could not see. The door to the garage faces the woods. I put a single .22 short in my Henry lever action rifle and popped it in the head facing outward toward the woods (in case the round went completely through).
My frined stood on her porch and didn't even hear it.
The .22 short sounds like the snap of a mousetrap.
