do raccoons attack humans
So we worry that it could possibly attack another human or even attack another animal, said Burlington Police Officer Joseph Corrow. The Vermont Health Department lists that 13 animals have tested positive for rabies across the state so far in 2014 and all but two were raccoons. Officer Corrow says it is rare for an animal attack like this -- especially in the city. The Burlington Police urge people never to approach wild animals -- and to be alert.
