Couple accused of keeping rabid raccoon.

Hopefully the information presented in previous articles would discourage any reader from dong what this couple did. If the information doesn't deter you, maybe what happened to this couple will.

Seems a husband and wife will be facing child-endangerment charges. All due to the fact they were harboring a raccoon as a pet. Unfortunately that "pet" raccoon tested positive for rabies. Now all 11 members of the family and a social worker, all of whom were exposed to the raccoon, are receiving rabies inoculations.

The couple was charged with nine counts of endangering the welfare of a child and also possessing the raccoon without a permit. According to officials, the couple had been repeatedly warned about the raccoon.

Rabies is a SERIOUS and DEADLY disease. Please take heed to the warnings and don't expose yourself or your family to such a potentially terrible risk.
