STAY AWAY FROM ANIMALS BEHAVING STRANGELY IN THE WILD. THAT’S THE MESSAGE FROM THE NEW MEXICO DEPARTMENT OF GAME AND FISH AFTER A FOX TESTED POSITIVE FOR RABIES NEAR FORT SUMNER. A WILDLIFE DISEASE SPECIALIST AT THE DEPARTMENT SAYS YOU ALSO NEED TO MAKE SURE YOUR PETS’ VACCINATIONS ARE CURRENT.
A SKUNK ALSO TESTED POSITIVE FOR RABIES THIS YEAR IN DE BACA COUNTY. IF YOU SPOT SUSPICIOUS WILDLIFE, YOU SHOULD CALL YOUR LOCAL DEPARTMENT OF GAME AND FISH OFFICE.
