- Several baby goats from a mobile North Carolina petting zoo tested positive for rabies — anyone who had close contact with the goats at events between July 28 and Aug. 27 should contact their local health department for a risk assessment.
- The owner euthanized four baby goats after a wild skunk was found in the goats' pen; county and state health teams are investigating and working with the petting zoo to notify event organizers and attendees.
