What can I do to protect the ripe fruit from all the animals that take and damage it. After all the work that goes into the garden, it is heart rendering to see everything damaged of destroyed.

How big is your yard? I installed motion lights and it does help to a certain extent. Fake owls and snakes help too.

They are hungry due to 99% of their natural habitat is gone..
How about a scarecrow?
Unless it was animated I doubt that the rats and racoons would be frightened away. But the crows might not like it. Thanks for your thought though. It is most appreciated. This sure is a great site for exciting the imagination.
I have similar problem with crows digging up my lawn. you may want to try putting a stick in the yard( or several in my case ) attached to stick twine and a foil tin foil plate blowing in the breeze .
