Woman kills raccoon with her bare hands
One tough woman.
http://www.beaufortgazette.com/24hou...13063816c.html A woman killed a raccoon with her bare hands Thursday when the animal attacked a young boy. Officials say the woman was walking in the woods around 11 a.m. with a group of children when the animal bit the 5-year-old son of a friend. She pulled the raccoon off the child, told the children to run home and strangled the animal, authorities said. |

And now the heroic woman is getting treated because the thing had rabies!
I would not have known what to do other than pick up a branch or broomstick and swat at it. I could NOT have grabbed it...I have trouble getting lizards out of my house which lately seems to be a problem. Guess they are trying to get cool.

A Coon is not something you want to mess with! As a child, we had one as a pet, and they can be quite vicious I also trapped many of them for thier skins- we could get $25-$35 each.

We had a coon. Mean female. Ended up letting it go. They can carry rabies from mother to baby in uetero. It is latent up to four generations. I had two skunks one black and white the other red. Pet Land Shreve ****ty. Old man Owens sold them. Strange pet and they would bite you if you tried to hold them. What were my parents thinking ???? Must have been the led paint
