A javelina bit a woman near her home on Tucson's west side after she intentionally fed it, wildlife officials say.

The woman was treated and released from an urgent care facility on Sunday night. According to Arizona Game and Fish Department spokesman Mark Hart, department officials recommended she receive a rabies shot.

The woman was a "habitual feeder of javelina," Game and Fish said. She may have been feeding them near her home, near West Speedway and North Painted Hills Drive, for years, Hart said.

Hart said intentionally feeding javelinas is the leading cause of javelina bites in Arizona.

It's illegal to feed wildlife in Pima, Maricopa and Pinal counties. Doing so can result in a maximum $300 fine, he said.

No citations have been made at this time, but Sunday's case is still under investigation.

Earlier this month, the department urged the community to keep pumpkins and other seasonal decorations, such as squash and gourds, away from wildlife.
