Prescott, AZ (AHN) - An Arizona woman has to run for at least a mile with a rabid fox hanging on to her arm after it bit her while she was jogging, before driving herself to a hospital to receive treatment.
Report said the woman, from Chino Valley south of the Grand Canyon, Ariz. was jogging on a trail near Prescott when she encountered the rabid fox which bit her leg.
She told authorities she grabbed the fox by the neck but it bit her arm.
I guess she did a foxtrot on the way to her car.
Smart woman to haul it with her.
I hate when that happens.
"A JOGGER is enlivening her experience by wearing a fox, hanging from her arm by its teeth.
Blood sports enthusiasts are invited to take their pick: jogger or fox. Win-win. The woman tried to choke the animal, but no luck. The fox tries to bite her in two. But, again, no luck.
To add to the tableau, the creature is rabid. Not, the jogger, but the fox. The foam around the jogger’s slack maw is the product of stomach acids and yoghurt-based drinks.
The fox takes hold. The Jogger runs to her car a mile away. She makes good time and – who knows, as a training ritual it may catch on. She prizes the fox’s filthy mouth from her person and throws the animal in the boot.
A statement released by the local Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office notes that “it is very difficult to prevent the attack of a wild rabid animal once in progress.”
At least she wasn't coyote ugly!
I've even tried a cold steel sjambock. It's a little heavier and less rigid. Still weighing the tradoffs.
I love Genesis but what the hell was Peter Gabriel thinking?
I guess there are somethings better than having a wolverine in you pants.
“I guess there are somethings better than having a wolverine in you pants.”
Or a dingo eating your baby
I’m trying to remember which song it was were Gabriel wore that costume, I thought it was during “Supper’s Ready” but I’m not sure.
At least that wasn’t as hideous as the Slipperman costume.
