[Az-Geocaching] Rabies warnings and restrictions for Flagstaff

[Gale]

Saw this in the news.

FLAGSTAFF - The Coconino County Health Department is proposing a pet
quarantine across parts of Flagstaff while it distributes an edible
rabies vaccine for wild animals.

Rabies has been confirmed in 21
wild animals in the area since November. At least two people have
received rabies shots after they were bitten by foxes carrying the
fatal disease, and a rabid skunk attacked a child but didn't puncture
the skin on Monday.

Health Department director Barbara Worgess
said Friday that the plan requires owners to keep dogs and cats on
their property or leashed for 90 days while vaccines are distributed
across parts of Flagstaff. 

It also restricts feeding and interacting with wildlife. If approved by county supervisors, it would take affect on Wednesday.

The county imposed similar restrictions in 2005 and 2006.
