CHESHIRE, Conn. — A woman killed a raccoon with her bare hands Thursday when the animal attacked a young boy. Officials with Cheshire animal control say the woman was walking in the woods around 11 a.m. with a group of children when the animal bit the 5-year-old son of a friend.
She pulled the raccoon off the child, told the children to run home and strangled the animal, authorities said.
"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."
The carcass was taken to a state laboratory in Hartford where it tested positive for rabies.
The woman and the boy are undergoing rabies treatment. Their names have not been released.

At a boy Gayag, you gotem there! Be honest Tony, did you cry when Old Yeller had to be put down by Kevin Corcoran?
That was my favorite part of the movie...
O' the shame of a reprobate mind! Of once which I was one!
There comes a time in everyones life that we realize, Human life is more important than that of an animal. Thank God this Lady held the life of this little boy more precious. TEXANN
