Lesson: Don't Attack a Kid Named "Talon," Even If You Are a Carnivore

Talon Thomas is one tough kid:

An 11-year-old boy and a 22-year-old man say they were attacked this week by foxes in southern Moore County.

The attacks happened near the intersection of Sycamore Street and Midway Road in Aberdeen.

Talon Thomas, 11, said he was bitten and scratched by the fox while walking home from school Tuesday.

"He bit me on my leg, and then I just picked him up, and I just hit his head against the road and he started kicking me in my head," he said.

Talon said he kept the fox pinned down and tried to keep him quiet so he wouldn't alert other foxes.

"He kept kicking his legs up and I thought his whole family was going to come after me," he said.

Talon caught the fox and took him to his parents. It's not yet known if the fox was rabid but Talon received a series of rabies shots as a precaution.

Read the first sentence of the last paragraph again.

Talon caught the fox and took him to his parents.

I guess you should also read the part where he decided to pick the fox up when he was attacked, and slammed his head against the road.

Most people attacked by a toothy, clawed carnivore, would attempt to escape the area.

Talon Thomas is not most people.
