Just in case the health alerts regarding rabies is removed from the DOH website (like the parks department removed the leash law page), here are some alerts from last year:
-Sharp Increase in Animal Rabies Cases on Staten Island-
-Animals Testing Positive for Rabies in New York City in 2006-
-Rabid Raccoon Found in Queens-
-Rabid Kittens Found in Staten Island-
-Bronx Woman Bitten by Rabid Raccoon-
