Rabid in Manhattan

… Also in Queens and the Bronx

Health E-News – NYC Gov. on Jul 21, 2009 – Six rabid animals – all raccoons—have been identified in New York City this year. Four were found in the Bronx, one in Manhattan (near Inwood Hill Park), and one in Queens (Long Island City). Raccoons are the most commonly reported rabid animals in New York City.

Considering the breadth of local broadcast news coverage in the last few days, one would think that an  animal story of this magnitude would be popping up on the screen.
