4 people in Georgia exposed to rabid pet llama
MORGANTON, Ga. (AP) — Health officials say four people in northwest Georgia have been exposed to rabies by a pet llama.
Officials say a veterinarian was called to a house in Morganton on Dec. 28 because a llama was showing signs of aggression — biting at itself, at others and spitting at one of its caretakers. The llama was euthanized and sent to a lab.
Officials say the caretaker the llama spat on is receiving treatment. Authorities say one person who came into contact with the animal experienced very little exposure and will not need treatment. Officials are waiting to hear from the other two people who were exposed to the virus.

Dog gone it!!!!!!!!! Now we need a ban on assault Llamas.
I bet Alfred Hitchcock could work with this.
I hear Quentin Tarantino is looking the script over.
Llamas should be required to wear spit shields. Don't Llamas spit and bite when they don't have rabies? So how can you tell?
 @The Resistance Yes, they can hock a pretty good loogy.
Well, now we know what happened to Prissy.
I hope he got his shots.
@Kushfan He's been off of his meds for years.
