If you go to Van Pugh this weekend, and you get approached by a cow acting unusually*, please be cautious. It may be rabid.

*I would assume "unusually" could mean a number of things including offering you a hamburger, walking a dog or telling you to put more downhaul on your sail. If a racoon tells you to put more downhaul on your sail, I'd suggest they are probably correct.

"A rabid cow came into contact with a veterinarian in recent days in Clermont, according to Hall County officials.

The incident occurred in the 6700 block of Kenimer Road in Clermont.

Hall County spokesman Brian Stewart clarified that the veterinarian was not bitten.

“The contact happened when the cow was checked by a veterinarian for neurological issues, at which point the cow was shipped to the lab, where it was confirmed positive for rabies,” he said.

Hall County said this was the ninth confirmed rabies case for the county this year."
