Nine people on Capitol Hill were bitten by a fox. When it was captured and euthanized they found out it was rabid, necessitating euthanizing her three kits and a course of treatment for its victims. Among the victims were California congressman Ami Berra and Politico reporter Ximena Bustillo. Congressman Berra is not certain the trapped and euthanized fox is the one who bit him. And his fear may be founded, as foxes are all over the city.
Foxes are not uncommon in DC and the National Park Service says the animals adapt well to both city and rural life. There are numerous fox dens on the National Mall, a downtown park that hosts many of the city's iconic monuments, but their location can change year to year.

HSUS moved in on DC decades ago and made the city adopt rules that basically hamstring NWCOs as to what can and cannot be done with wildlife.
No surprise to see rabies there.

Rabies is all thru the white house

yup and mad cow disease

You have to ask if the fox got the rabies from a couple of politicians or not -- poor fox.

My thinking exactly except the fox probably caught rabies just looking at the person.

I'm surprised this makes the news. The politician are rabid without the foxes. LOL.

Needs to happen in a lot of cities maybe change their minds on trapping./

There were dimwits, after the fox was captured, calling for relocation and live release "back to the wild". How can adult educated human beings be walking around upright that have no idea that behavior is classic the sign of rabies?

How can educated adults not be able to balance a budget when it’s their job?

LOL. It's not the foxes I am worried about. It's the people that are rabid before being bitten by foxes that I fear.

Hahaha
