We had an outbreak of rabies going on for a while in the '80's when I lived in Westchester Co. NY. Had a racoon that kept opening my garbage cans and spreading it all out into a 10' circle every so often. I had to put on disposable latex gloves every time to clean up his mess and I got a little tired of the mess, and him.
Saw him one night doing it and popped him with my .38Spl. service gun. He jumped in the air and then took off, didn't give me much faith in the gun. lol
Anyway, next morning found he had made it to the back yard and died. I grabbed him in a thick inside out black garbage bag, tied it off, and in the garbage to the landfill it went. There was blood on the ground there, I spilled bleach on it, had a bald spot on the lawn for years.
Anyone thinking of dining on armadillos, think again. They carry, and been known to transfer, leprosy to people who've eaten them.
