Rabid raccoon cases now number 25 in Hamilton area

There are now 25 cases of raccoon rabies in the Hamilton area as the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry continues its program of sowing vaccine bait in an attempt to slow down the spread of rabies among raccoons. In the meantime, results are expected Friday to determine whether a raccoon that viciously attacked a New Jersey boy is rabid. The unprovoked attack left the child with deep bites on his face.
