Impressive raccoon. I gave up trying to teach the cat to call 911.

This isn't too hard to believe. Pinellas county is infested with raccoons. In the apartment complex I lived in you could have up to 10 or even more in the trash bin, and as soon as you opened the door they would scurry out one after another.

This one sounds like a candidate for being rabid.

If the raccoon did that, the first thing I would be thinking of is that it had rabies! I hope the man is aware of that possibility.

Coons are nasty as snot, and effecient predators of all kinds of small animals and farm fowl....I hate coons. Also big carrier of rabies as this coon was not acting normal in that it attack a human...

Mr. Kidwell, meet Mr.Syringe.

You two will be seeing a lot of each other.

I’ve been doing nightly battle with several coons who have discovered they enjoy Meow Mix.

After throwing pots, lids, water jugs, water itself, and a variety of silverware, I’ve decided to step up the battle and use bait. I just wonder which they’ll enjoy more: .17 Mach 2 or .17HMR?

Animal Control came out and caught the animal, which will be tested for rabies. Workers urged Kidwell to see his doctor for treatment.

Off with its head!!

(The raccoon's, that is. IIRC, the standard test for rabies requires killing the suspect animal and examining its brain.)
