Rabies Outbreak from Mobile Petting Zoo | Portland Maine News

A mobile petting zoo in North Carolina is under fire after baby goats tested positive for rabies, exposing nearly 300 people. The owner says the young goats weren’t vaccinated and a skunk likely infected them. Now, health officials are urging over 200 people to get checked and treated — because once rabies symptoms appear, it’s almost always fatal. Four goats were euthanized; three confirmed rabid, one likely exposed. Despite no other animals showing signs yet, the farm is on high alert as public health teams scramble to contain the outbreak.
