They don't usually attack humans but are known for eating porcupines.
For the love of God... What kind of rodent eats porcupines? Im sorry for this lady but I found the article quite humorous. She struck the rodent repeatedly with a fire extinguisher? Thats the weapon of choice given when attacked by 2 foot rodent. How about stomping it with the other foot? Damn I wish there was some video of this.
Again I apologize if this is anyone's Grandma, but I might have had a hard time helping anyone beating a large rodent with a fire extinguisher while it was latched on to their foot. Are you really helping someone if you save them from a large weasel attack while almost passing out from laughter...

I couldn't believe it either when I first heard it!
I only thought things like this happened in the "wild".
Here's a video link to the story...
