"Hersheypark's Response to Raccoon Attacks on Guests"
A raccoon attacked guests waiting in line for a roller coaster at Hersheypark, with video footage showing the animal running around and biting two people, including a little girl. The park responded by transporting the injured guests to a local hospital for observation and stated that guest safety is their top priority. The raccoon has not been captured since the incident, and a furbearer biologist with the Pennsylvania Game Commission commended the park's handling of the situation, noting that the frightened raccoon likely felt trapped and acted out of fear.
