Violators Are Subject To Fine, Imprisonment For several years the area of Black Mountain Township has been free from an outbreak of rabies, probably clue to the fine attendance at the clinics held for vaccination against rabies. How ever, on Saturday an incident oc cured involving a dog which is believed to have been afflicted with rabies, and Dr. H. C. Whims, County Health Officer for Bun combe county, has placed a 90 day quarantine on all dogs in tne Black Mountain Township, in ac cordance with the state law cover ing such situations. This quarant ine is in effect and will remain so until June 30, 1951. The law provides that where ^ an area is under quarantine all dogs in the district shall be con fined on the premises of the owner, (preferably in an enclosure or if not on a chain) and that a dog may be permitted to leave the premises of the owner if on leash ;; or under the control of its owner or other responsible person. The law further provides that when dogs continue to run at large, un controlled by owners or persons responsible for their control, any police officer or deputy sheriff shall have the right to apprehend the dogs, killing them and dis posing of their bodies. Violation of the law is a misdemeanor pun ishable by a fine of not more than $60.00 or imprisonment of not mor" thaii 30 days Notices of the quarantine have been posted throughout the town ship, and county and city officials have endorsed the action taken by the Board of Health. Sheriff L. E. Brown, in a statement to the NEWS stated that there is no need for panic at this develop ment. Strict compliance with the quarantine, Sheriff Brown said, and the cooperation and observance of the law covering vaccination against rabies will be necessary. “Lately my office has had many reports of dogs killing poultry and I feel that much of this is due to stray dogs who are a problem to the health and welfare of our community.’’ Drs. S. S. Cooley, Frank H. Richardson, A. Eugene Knoefel, II. R. Miller, and S. M. Bittinger of Black Mountain, and Drs. C. D. Thomas, H. E. Wood, J. R. Bum garner, W. W. Compton, Dan Espey of the staff of Western North Carolina Sanatorium all joined today in endorsing the ac tion taken by Dr. Whims in plac ing the quarantine. They warned the public against handling stray or injured dogs without . taking proper precautions and urged full cooperation with the quarantine and attendance at rabies vaccina tion clinics. They too, all felt that the problem of stray dogs running at large was a serious one in this vicinity. reopie are warneu .nor co at tempt to treat their own or other dogs if they appear sick or ab- ‘ normal in any way. Report them to your veterinarian. If a person is bitten, report the incident to the County Health Office and see your physician immediately. If the dog dies have the head ex amined for rabies. Your veterinar ian will assist in obtaining ex amination of the dog’s head. If you shoot a dog, shoot him through the heart as shooting through the head interferes with the examina tion for rabies.
