Fraternity brothers kill, eat raccoon
ATHENS, Georgia (CNN)
A fraternity member was treated for possible exposure to rabies, and he and
two others could be expelled for beating, skinning and then eating a raccoon
that might have had the disease, the fraternity's president said.
The men had spotted the raccoon behaving erratically outside the Phi Kappa
Psi house at the University of Georgia on December 12. One hit it with
construction pylon and shot it with a pellet gun in the fraternity's parking
lot, Athens-Clarke County Animal Control officials said. Another skinned the
raccoon, and a third cooked and ate some of its meat.
Erratic behavior can be a symptom of rabies in an animal, but the raccoon
could not be tested because its carcass was burned. At least one fraternity
member was treated for possible exposure to rabies, which can be fatal if
left untreated.
The three members involved will go before the fraternity's grievance
committee and face possible sanctions from reprimands to expulsion, said
Larry Bales, fraternity president.
"It was a ridiculous situation -- an isolated incident," Bales said. "It was
not a fraternity-sanctioned event."
