Feeding the raccoons is strictly prohibited under Florida Law: Feeding wildlife in Florida is generally illegal, harmful to the animals, and a public safety risk. It is specifically prohibited to feed bears, alligators, manatees, sandhill cranes, and other specific species. Feeding wildlife leads to habituation, disease, unnatural concentrations of animals, and can result in significant fines or even felony charges for repeat offenses. To interact safely with wildlife, observe from a distance, secure your trash, and never feed or try to rescue injured or orphaned animals yourself.
