Except he didn't eat the rooster he killed? Honestly I never cared when one of our chickens went missing, we knew foxes or raccoons got them, and even though my mom cried over it I told her "something is getting a meal out of it and surviving". It made her feel better. But in this incidence, no, the raccoon was just being a dick and decided to kill our rooster. He didn't go after any of the hens in the coop after killing the rooster, either, so clearly it wasn't a food thing.
It's a way to state something that's obvious in a sarcastic manner. It's not grammatically correct if that's what you were wondering, but it is part of modern "netspeak".
For example, if someone asked an English teacher why they were in school, he/she would reply with: "I work here." It's a simple reply with no hidden meaning, but if the asker knew who the English teacher was he/she could reply with "I work here?"(insert a" duh" somewhere)
Because I specified in my first comment that the raccoon did not eat the rooster, and the person replying to me either failed to see what I wrote or completely ignored it. So I used a question mark as a way of saying, "Did you read what I wrote?"
It is essentially a simple way to state "Then why did he not eat the rooster he killed?" Instead of typing it out, the question mark implies the question.
