Trouble with playing an animation from a tool?

I have a local script inside a tool. In the same hierarchy level is the handle and animation. For some reason the animation won't play when the tool is used. I tested this exact code from a local script in the StarterGui, but with uis, and it worked just fine. The animation prints Play, then Stop, but does nothing. No errors. Any help is greatly appreciated.

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	local animation = script.Parent.Eat
    local track =  game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(animation)
	print('Start')
    track:Play()
	wait(1)
	track:Stop()
	print('Stop')
end)
