TweetHe was doing the thriller dance.
I was going to get gas at the city service center and saw this raccoon dancing and taking swipes at and chasing cars. went from this pose to hands up in the air and back, then walk two steps and do it again.
I called animal control. my first though was RABIES!!!!!!!!!!!!
some stupid woman got out of her car and was walking over to it with some food in or something in her hand. I yelled at her "get back in your car!"
she said "he might be someone's pet and need help!"
I yelled "NO! HE HAS RABIES AND WILL TEAR YOU UP WILL NEED 25 SHOTS IN THE STOMACH!"
there were several cars stopped and the guy behind me was hanging out his window yelled "GET BACK IN YOUR CAR *****!"
The rabies thing shocked her more that being called a *****. she scurried her chunky ass back to her car. what the hell was going through her mind that your first thought was this crazy ass raccoon with white foam around it's mouth could be a pet?
anyway animal control came out and it went after them. they caught it in a net and used a noose pole to get it's head and stick it in a pet carrier. they said it was probably rabid as it was foaming at the mouth. i found out the other disease they get is distemper, same as dogs. but they are very lethargic and do not like to dance the "Thriller" when sick with it.
I did not realize after it was caught how many folk were behind me watching. they applauded on it's capture and it startled me. (poor situational awareness)
what if another rabid raccoon attacked me from the back?

TweetScary and awesome. Wish there was video
PAIN DON'T HURT
Tweetthat pic is blurry because i was far back at max zoom. i tried vid but i cannot zoom and it looked like a paper bag moving in the wind.
i had a really good digi cam in the truck for work and it has a 5X optical zoom and i forgot about it.
