CDC: GF rabies event exposed risk

A rabies incident last March at Grand Forks’ Circle of Friends Humane Society highlighted the risk faced by animal shelter employees across the country, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a report distributed this week. The incident led to the euthanizing of 31 dogs. In addition, 21 people — including nine shelter employees and one volunteer — received precautionary rabies shots.
