Texas Teen Escapes Death by Rabies


His name is Jack Hunter (no, he is not one of the guys in these government photos), and by the time the rabid fox had wrapped around his leg, the crazed animal had sunk his teeth a inch into the 16-year-old Texan's leg.


After Hunter strangled the fox, he threw the diseased animal into his yard and stayed home from school a couple of days to recover.


Thank God for teachers, who realized that without rabies shots, Hunter would end up like these guys who have their photos permanently enshrined on the website of the Center for Disease Control.
Questions:

  • What is Jack's IQ?

  • Where were Jack's parents during all of this?

  • How long did the fox lie in Jack's yard?
  • Do you consider Jack a hero or an imbecile?
  • Does the family of this man who apparently died a miserable death at the hands of rabies in 1958 know their ancestor's agonizing last photos are on the Internet?
