Law bent to save pet raccoon
Rocky the raccoon known as the little guy getting a bum rap was released from custody in Vilas County Wisconsin to spend Labor Day weekend with the Turner family of Schaumburg Illinois. Attorney General Bronson La Follette said Rocky is a symbol of small against big government as state officials handed him over amid protests. The raccoon had been seized Aug 3 at Trout Lake Campground near Boulder Junction after the Turners sought to keep him.
