[Yellow Rose of Texas]

In Texas prairie dogs carry black Plague, 9 banded armadillos carry leprosy, coyotes carry rabies, birds carry bird flu and lime disease, mice carry marburg fever. We are taught as small children to stay away from wildlife, especially if sick, dying, or dead.

You offer very good advise, in this day and age, it is unsafe to do any of the things that I did as a child.....

I would say today, that any animal that will allow a strange person to approach it, is a danger, even dogs and cats.
