"Our investigation is now complete," Ron De Haven, the department's chief veterinarian, told reporters in a telephone conference call. "We feel very confident the remaining animals, the ones we have not been able to positively identify, represent little risk."[cont. http://www.comcast.net/News/HEALTHWELLNESS//XML/1500_Health__medical/fe608995-d4c8-496c-9b1f-a2d346c0cc3f.html] It figures.
