Bath is moving forward with a trapping program to address a rabies outbreak in which rabid animal attacks grew 700% from 2018 to 2019.
Under the plan, 10 traps will be set in Bath and every fox, skunk and raccoon caught will be euthanized and tested for rabies. Other wild animals and any pets that end up getting caught will be released or returned to their owners.
On Monday the City Council voted to proceed with the program.
