    A rabid raccoon bit into this vegetarian's thumb. So she drowned it in a nearby puddle. https://usat.ly/2sEg8hc pic.twitter.com/MIRyMKVo1p

        She purposely stuck her hand out to be bitten, then shoved it's head down till it died. How about, say, walking away?

        , Sounds made up, if she was a runner why couldn't she turn around and runaway & why did you go that way? Raccoons aren't that fast

        Maybe she's not really a vegetarian and was just acting like a raccoon before she ate it.
