Have you heard this yet? When a raccoon bit her friend's five year old son, a mom pulled the raccoon off the kid, sent the kids home, and then choked the life out of it with her bare hands. Here's an understatement: "'She had the presence of mind to choke it,' animal control officer
April Leiler told the Record-Journal of Meriden. 'She is one tough
lady.'" Ya think? I bet the other raccoons spread the word not to get vicious with that woman or any kids in her charge. I know I wouldn't. But hey, don't mess with a mom. I mean, raccoons are tough buggers, and still... Moms: 1; Raccoons: 0. Anyhow, turns out the raccoon did test positive for rabies, so woman and boy are undergoing treatment.
Gosh, I do hope it wasn't this raccoon. But anyhow, I'm imagining the kids, all grown, sitting around and reminiscing: "Remember when mom strangled that rabid raccoon with her bare hands?" I mean, what family doesn't have a story like that?
