Man kills attacking bobcat

Dale Rippy, 62, killed a rabid bobcat with his bare hands when it attacked him on his porch in Wesley Chapel, Florida. The Vietnam vet was later treated for bites, scratches, and exposure to rabies. From Associated Press:

Dale Rippy endured the (25 pound) bobcat�s slashes and bites until it clawed into a position where he could grab it by the throat. Then he strangled it.

When I read this, I flashed back to some storys Firlotte.com told me about his father. Heh.
