IntroductionThe recent rabies exposures associated with goats from a petting zoo have raised questions and concerns about animal health in North Carolina. Petting zoos and animal exhibits can be an excellent way for people to learn about livestock and provide an enjoyable experience. However, there are some risks as animals can harbor germs that can harm people.
We are reaching out regarding the recent confirmation of multiple rabies cases in baby goats associated with a mobile petting zoo operating out of Iredell County. These animals may have been in contact with people at private and public events across several counties between July 28 and August 27, 2026. Individuals who may have been exposed are being directed to contact their local health department to assess their need for post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).
