PETA blasts raccoon-killing Husker
LINCOLN, Neb. -- The president of an animal rights group wants Nebraska athletic director Shawn Eichorst to punish a football player for killing a raccoon that bit him during his attempt to take a picture of himself with the animal.
Jack Gangwish spotted the raccoon on the side of a road near Lincoln on Dec. 3 and stopped to take a selfie. When Gangwish approached, the raccoon bit him on the calf. Gangwish used a wrench from his truck to kill the raccoon.
In tweets that have since been deleted, Gangwish posted a picture of him with the raccoon and followed that up with a shot of a bite mark on his leg.
"Guys... I got bit by a raccoon... It just looked so soft and friendly I couldnt help it!" wrote Gangwish, a junior who is listed as a 6-foot-2, 260-pound defensive end.
