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.

7 Obama needs to enroll in the Talon Thomas ass kicking school. A little child--or a Portuguese Water Dog shall lead him.

8 I am afraid old Talon has rabies. Foxes don't attack. We have several in our area and they stay well away from humans.

9 Talon Thomas doesn't have time to bleed

Talon Thomas once bit a snake, before it could bite him

Talon Thomas apparently thinks Foxes are pack animals....but he is only 11

Talon Thomas...when you absolutely postively need to have a specimen to give to the hospital to test for rabies

11 Talon Thomas once round-house kicked a fox so hard it's great grandchildren were born with concussions.

12 Oh, I'm sure the fox was rabid, they're shy creatures as a rule.

13 Sure the fox had rabies. That's why Talon had to smash its head on the ground, to "get it's mind right".

The rabies tried to infiltrate Talon through the bite wound, but Talon's white cells roundhouse kicked them into primordial goo.
