Synopsis: A rabid beaver attacked a man and his young daughter kayaking down a river in PA.
The father beat the beaver with a pole until it gave up on him and bee-lined for the daughter. Father goes in the water to protect daughter and ends up beating the beaver to death.
Video of the attack
Story excerpt:
A peaceful day on the water turned to terror for a father and daughter in Pennsylvania.
Dan Wherley explained to Fox 43 that he and his 7-year-old Layla were kayaking on the Conewago Creek in Adams County when a beaver took to viciously attacking his brand new kayak.
"Get away cause it's a beaver!" screams Wherley in video he caught on his cell phone. "Get the (expletive) away. Get away you (expletive)"
"I looked, and it was a beaver scratching at it, and I thought 'wow, that's pretty cool- a beaver came up to us! It wouldn't stop, so I used my paddle, tried to hit it to get it away, and it just wouldn't stop, wouldn't stop," explained Wherley.
After realizing the beaver wasn't going to quit, Wherley fought back with what he had on hand: his paddle.
This prompted the beaver to head for Layla.

The father received rabies shots.
Hydrophobia—fear of water. Seems cruel for a beaver to get rabies.

Local news sources (Useless-Hay Today group, can’t post) state that the beaver tested positive for rabies.

Seriously though, I am getting wary of the increase in coyote sightings in my area.

Five years ago the coyotes were thick around here. You’d hear them every night doing their pack yipping.
They cleared out after a year and I’ve not heard one in the past 3 years.

Always carry a big stick with you, and you will be fine. Coyotes are smart.

Is that the segway into another of those Florida alligator stories?

Now THAT is a father...first he tries to bash the beaver, then when the rabid animal takes off for is daughter, he jumps out of his kayak and ultimately kills the animal.
