Child Fed Goats at Interactive Zoo; Now Must Get Rabies Vaccine
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Last Friday, Rebecca Lanning received a shocking phone call: her 4-year-old son had been exposed to rabies during a recent family outing. Thirteen days earlier, on August 15, the family had visited a dinosaur exhibit in Mocksville, North Carolina. There were food trucks, carnival games, and an interactive zoo, where her son fed some baby goats by hand. 'I didn't think anything of it until Friday, when his aunt called me and said, 'Hey, we have a situation,'' said Lanning, 30, a resident of Marion. Lanning requested that her son's name not be disclosed. Three baby goats from the interactive zoo tested positive for rabies, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services announced on Friday. The goats, along with a fourth animal suspected of having the disease, were euthanized.
