There were a few FML members that were interested in reading about the
original news report of the ferret case in NJ.  This is a transcript of the
original newscast of the story of the NJ ferret bites from local news
channel 4, NY, June 14.  (Note: This was documented through watching a video
tape, and was not received from the TV station).
 
Also, for your info I have not heard on the news nor read of the results of
the rabies test, so I called the NJ Board of Health in Trenton today 6/13
and spoke to Dr. Sorhage, and she told me all three ferrets were negative
for rabies, What a surprise!!!!!!
