Strange Disease
Changes Nature
Of Alaska Foxes
JUNEAU—Wild life agents are
mystified by the sickness epidem
ic among foxes which changes
their natures so they run amok in
stead of running away from their
natural enemies.
They are attacking other ani
mals and a week ago bit a girl in
Fairbanks. Last week one was
killed at Central after it had sav
agely attacked and bitten dogs
owned by Maurice Smith.
Wild life agents are asking per
sons who shoot or trap foxes to
save the carcasses for examina
tion, so their disease can be diag
nosed, The one shot at Central
was sent to Juneau for examina
tion, but Agent Ray Woolford
failed to identify the malady, so
sent the carcass to laboratories
Outside. He said it did not have
rabies.
Foxes in Central Circle, Hot
Springs, the upper Kuskokwim
and upper Innoko regions and
around Platinum all seem to in
fected, acording to Mr. Woolford.
“They just don’t act like foxes
when they have this sickness,” he
says observers have told him.
