It happened in her backyard, and now she's warning others in the area to be on the look out in fear the animal may strike again.
“All of a sudden I felt immense pain of my right foot and I just screamed really loud because I was trying to scare it away,” said Honey Marie Meaker, who is still shaken up form the traumatic experience after being attacked by what she calls a vicious animal.
The injury she sustained is so bad she's now on crutches.
“I had no idea what it was, I didn't hear any noise, didn't hear any sounds. I just felt the pain, this excruciating pain,” said Honey Marie.
It happened when she and her 13-year-old daughter took out the trash.
Honey had no clue what attacked her, but her daughter got a better look at it saying it was a fisher cat.
She had to get 10 stitches and multiple rabies shots including two in the legs and arms and a tetanus shot, and now dealing with an infection.
Fishers typically die horrible deaths in states that still allow cruel and barbaric trapping. |
“The only thing that went through my mind that it was rabid, why else would it attack me?” said Honey Marie.
She's now sending out a warning to others in the area so they don't end up on crutches and in pain like she is.
“As a parent I'm scared this could happen to a small child who can't help themselves,” said Honey Marie.
With a long recovery ahead, Honey has to go to the doctors several more times to make sure she wasn't infected with rabies.
