In the news!

You have to love regional newspapers - I picked up a copy of the Lethbridge Herald (Alberta) on 23 September and there it was on the front page (as it should be too). "Raccoon attacks Claresholm senior". The raccoon - described as crazed - apparently attacked the victim outside the Porcupine Hills Seniors Lodge. Some friends kicked the raccoon until it let go and then dragged her to safety - the raccoon then "continued trying to get at them through the glass doors".

The Royal Canadian Mounties were called in and confirmed that the senior had suffered from a raccoon bite (I'm thinking the crazed raccoon on the end of her leg on or about the time the bite occurred was the giveaway).

The raccoon has not yet been located but we know the mounties always get their man so an arrest is surely imminent.
