Authorities say a New York man and woman face fines of $500 each after they took a raccoon to a pet store to shop for food and a store worker ratted them out.

In early April, Erica Zuhlke, a Michigan wildlife rehabilitator, received two fox kits from Macomb County. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources submitted the three red fox kits to the Michigan State Veterinary Diagnostic Lab for “highly pathogenic avian influenza testing.”All three fox kits were determined to be “non-negative,” reported Ed Golder, DNR public information officer. These are Michigan’s first cases of avian influenza in wild mammals, but there have been other cases in North America. Among wild birds, Michigan has confirmed in 69 cases, according to the DNR. Wild birds can be asymptomatic, but still carry the disease, sometimes over long distances during migration.
