It happened within an hour of contacting the actual editors directly and
within a workday of letting respected public health vets and the CDC
experts know! Pam just found it. I had been on the website only and
half hour before and it was still wrong then.
Someone was on the ball ultimately.
Now it becomes a matter of finding where the old error was copied, beyond
Answers.com but now that the source has been changed it should work out
well.
The mistake of listing domestic ferrets as a major animal which passes
of rabies, and acting as if they are wild, no less, has been corrected,
and new info added, too!
