On This Day | Beware of Animals Behaving Strangely
Author
MinotVoice
Pigs squealing loudly at the LeRoy Huskamp farm at Fenton, Iowa caused Bob Huskamp, a brother of LeRoy, to investigate. Sows and small pigs were found to have been bitten by a skunk. The skunk was clinging vigorously to a sow when Bob arrived. The skunk was shot, taken to a veterinarian, and found to have rabies.

Why We Chose It
Consider this a public service announcement. Though we see it less these days, rabies remains. And in our age, some poor fool is more likely to get out their phone and record an animal acting strangely rather than the more prudent action of standing back.
