BiffSplitkins Posted August 13, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 13, 2012 PINE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) -- A Boy Scout leader from New York who was attacked by a rabid beaver while swimming in the Delaware River is recovering. The Poughkeepsie Journal reports that 51-year-old Normand Brousseau, of Pine Plains, was swimming in eastern Pennsylvania on Aug. 2 when a beaver swam through his legs and bit him in the chest. The animal then bit him in the leg, buttocks, arm, hand and torso before he managed to grab it and hold its jaw closed. One Boy Scout pulled Brousseau to shore, where he tossed the beaver away from him. The Scouts then used rocks to kill the animal.

Eldorado Posted August 13, 2012 #6 Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) I'm sure I've tangled with that beaver, back in the day. It's MO sounds very familiar. (I had no complaints) Edited August 13, 2012 by Eldorado 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly Posted August 13, 2012 #7 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Ok, the headline is kinda funny...but when you read the entire story...Damn! that's just plain horrible. Rabies is one nasty horrific disease. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabies is one nasty horrific disease. Not when you're a man and all your buddies ask how you got rabies and you get to say "From a Rabid BEAVER!" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly Posted August 13, 2012 #9 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Apparently, it's just not a good idea to tangle with a beaver. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d e v i c e Posted August 14, 2012 #12 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I wonder if he gained the power to build dams, using twigs and leaves, and also the ability to fell trees by gnawing through them? You never know. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know. I think that would only happen if the beaver was radioactive when it bit him. Then we would have 'Beaverman'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antilles Posted August 14, 2012 #16 Share Posted August 14, 2012 What boy scout medal do you get for this? Beaver cleaver? Cage fighting with a beaver? Frontier beaver medal? Daniel Boone medal for standing up to a beaver? Leave it to Beaver medal? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still Waters Posted August 14, 2012 #17 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Ok, the headline is kinda funny...but when you read the entire story...Damn! that's just plain horrible. Rabies is one nasty horrific disease. Agreed. That man was lucky, although it must have been a frightening experience for him, he could have come out of it a whole lot worse than he did. At least he's ok and is recovering from his ordeal, thankfully. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemonix Posted August 14, 2012 #18 Share Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) That's scary. Why do I have the strangest feeling I've seen this before? Edited August 14, 2012 by Lrak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiffSplitkins Posted August 14, 2012 Author #19 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Leave it to Beaver medal? I think that one is just a badge, not a medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That man was lucky, although it must have been a frightening experience for him, he could have come out of it a whole lot worse than he did. At least he's ok and is recovering from his ordeal, thankfully. Absolutely. I wonder if the animals skinned to make Lady Gaga's new fur coat feel as lucky?

Eldorado Posted August 14, 2012 #21 Share Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) What boy scout medal do you get for this? The BBB! (Beaver Beater Badge) Popular with BBW and even SBW everywhere... until they discover the beaver dies in the end. *rascal smiley* Edited August 14, 2012 by Eldorado 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
