GoKawiilNorth Carolina petting zoo euthanizes goats after rabies outbreak from skunk bite
A traveling petting zoo in Harmony, North Carolina euthanized four baby goats after lab tests confirmed three were infected with rabies, with a fourth suspected. State officials believe a skunk breached the goats' isolated pen in late July and bit them before being killed, and the young animals had not yet been vaccinated against rabies. The zoo had recently hosted events with elderly attendees and schoolchildren, prompting health officials to alert the public about possible exposure.
