They have to innoculate it from getting lead poisoning.

The question of the year! Was this eleven year old boy incredibly stupid, or incredibly brave?

So do they have to give the dog rabies shots?

Stupid? I'd say brave and bright. Had the dog not attacked him before, I'd say stupid, but in this situation he had to get the dog off of him.

Brave boy.

Fla. woman attacked by fox, then shot in the leg




MORRISTON, Fla. (AP) -- Authorities say a Levy County man accidentally shot his wife while trying to hit a fox that had attacked her. The couple told deputies they had spotted an animal in their yard Friday morning and went outside to see what it was.

The fox bit the woman on the left leg and wouldn't let go, so she told her husband to get a gun.

The man fired a .22-caliber rifle seven times, killing the animal but also hitting his wife in the lower right leg.

The woman was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

The dead fox will be tested for rabies, but authorities say the results won't be available until next week.

It's rather unusual for foxes to attack people. I'd say that lady's unpleasant experiences have only just begun.

where is the peta blog entry for this?

Wild animal attacks are all unusual. Unless you're near their young, all generally will run. So she's been bit, shot and likely has rabies shots on the horizon. Good day.
