A veterinarian in Toronto has stated that policies for dealing with wild animals in both Hamilton and Toronto need to be reviewed. Wildlife experts found a raccoon that had rabies. They discovered that the raccoon had rabies after it got into a fight with two dogs. Esther Attard is a veterinarian in Toronto. She has stated that rabies is a rare condition, and Toronto has not seen a case since 2006.
Paula Fancey is a resident of Hamilton. Her two dogs broke free from the property and got into a fight with the raccoon. Fancey will likely have to euthanize her dogs because neither one of them have been vaccinated for rabies. She has stated that she has kids, and she does not want her kids exposed to rabies.
