	rabies
		The virus is present primarily in the saliva, brain tissue and spinal fluid of a rabid animal.
		In wild animal species, rabies is more common in bats, skunks, raccoons and foxes, but the disease also has been found in deer and in large rodents, such as woodchucks.
		If an animal suspected of having rabies cannot be observed or tested, or if it tests positive for rabies, treatment of the individual with rabies immune globulin and the vaccine series must begin immediately.

	CWAPC - Captive Wild Animal Protection Coalition
		CWAPC believes that stronger state laws are desperately needed to address and prevent the tragic incidents that surround the issue of keeping dangerous wild animals as pets.
		Animal control facilities, animal shelters, zoos, licensed fish and wildlife facilities, circuses, and certain educational exhibitors are exempt from the possession and permit requirements of this bill.
		Persons possessing a dangerous wild animal prior to the effective date of the act would be allowed to keep the animal if an annual permit is obtained and the possessors comply with public safety and health requirements and animal care requirements.

	Care For Animals
		Certain species, or individual animals of most species, when maintained under irresponsible ownership may, in fact, be a hazard to human health, other animals, and/or the environment.
		Wild animals kept as pets are frequently subjected to various surgical procedures for the sole purpose of making the animal more sociably acceptable to its owner.
		Public health officials may require euthanasia of canine hybrids after they bite a person or are exposed to a rabid animal, regardless of their rabies vaccination status, because presently there is no rabies vaccine licensed for canine hybrids and little scientific data on the pathogenesis of rabies in these animals.

	Animal Cruelty Laws: Where Does Your State Stand? \| The Humane Society of the United States
		While some states have strong felony-level penalties, others still categorize egregious acts of intentional cruelty, such as setting an animal on fire or maliciously beating an animal, as misdemeanors or felonies with relatively weak penalties.
		To better protect communities, all states should have strong penalties and should work to educate and increase community awareness of the significance of animal cruelty crimes.

	CDC - Chronic Wasting Disease and Potential Transmission to Humans
		The disease was first recognized in the wild in 1981, when it was diagnosed in a free-ranging elk in Colorado (1,9).
		On the basis of hunter-harvested animal surveillance, the overall prevalence of the disease in this area from 1996 through 1999 was estimated at approximately 5% in mule deer, 2% in white-tailed deer, and <1% in elk (10).
		The proximity of the Wisconsin-Illinois focus to a white-tailed deer farm with infected animals appears to support this explanation, as highlighted by the report of CWD in a previously captive white-tailed deer approximately 7 months after it escaped into the wild in southern Wisconsin (14).

	City of Antioch: Antioch Animal Services
		While some wild animals have migrated to quieter, more remote areas, others (especially raccoons, opossums, squirrels, skunks, and other rodents) have learned to adapt and thrive alongside humans.
		Wild animals are most likely to become a nuisance if they are provided with an attractive environment.
		However, animals will defend their young and their territory, so it's a good idea to keep your pets indoors at night while many wild animals are out.

	NJDHSS, Communicable Diseases, Disease Fact Sheets: Rabies
		Cats left outdoors to roam have a greater chance of exposure to rabid animals, but even indoor cats should be vaccinated, as occasionally they may get out and/or wild animals, such as bats or raccoons, may get into houses through open doors, windows, or uncapped chimneys.
		In cases in which the animal is unavailable for testing, a decision to start human preventive treatment is made by the bite victim and his/her physician based on recommendations from the local health department.
		Some wild animals, such as raccoons, skunks, and groundhogs, may be infectious even though they appear to be normal, and these animals should be avoided at all times.

	Chronic Wasting Disease in New York (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		It is a transmissible disease that slowly attacks the brain of infected deer and elk, causing the animals to progressively become emaciated, display abnormal behavior and invariably results in the death of the infected animal.
		The state Departments of Environmental Conservation (DEC), Agriculture and Markets (DAM), and Health (DOH), together with the United States Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA-APHIS) are cooperating to develop a comprehensive statewide response to the threat of CWD.
		New York is also restricting the importation of deer and elk carcasses and parts from western states and provinces, and from any captive herds, as a further preventative measure to ensure that infectious prions are not brought into the state.

		The time it takes for an animal to adjust to its new environment is longer than the time it takes to be preyed upon by a predator, succumb to disease, or die of starvation or thirst.
		Also, captive animals are more likely to contract diseases that could be spread to their wild counterparts.
