On June 2nd, ECO Damrath received an urgent call from the Erie County Department of Health requesting assistance locating a potentially rabid raccoon. Raccoons are a rabies vector species and therefore considered a dangerous wild animal in New York State. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the County, a man and his girlfriend took the animal to a pet store to get food and supplies, and one of the store’s employees contacted authorities. Using store surveillance cameras, a store-issued rewards card, and license plate information, ECO Damrath tracked down the raccoon’s owner to Attica in Wyoming County and convinced the subject to turn over the raccoon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ECO Damrath transported the animal to a veterinary hospital for testing. Damrath charged two individuals for unlawfully possessing the raccoon and the owners each face a $500 fine. Rabies test results for the raccoon were negative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DEC urges the public to leave wild animals alone. Possessing wild animals is unlawful, doing so can be deadly. Once a rabies infection is established, there’s no effective treatment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
