Rabies Shot for Member of School Fraternity
A university fraternity member was treated for possible exposure to rabies, and he and two others could be expelled for beating, skinning and then eating a raccoon that might have had the disease, the fraternity’s president said.
The men had spotted the raccoon behaving erratically outside the Phi Kappa Psi house at the University of Georgia on Dec. 12. One hit it with construction pylon and shot it with a pellet gun in the fraternity’s parking lot, Athens-Clarke County Animal Control officials said. Another skinned the raccoon, and a third ate some of its meat.
