Twelve rabid bats identified


 The Canadian Food Inspection Agency tested 132 samples and found rabies in 12 during October in Ontario.


That brought the total to 75 rabid bats in the province so far this year. 


There was one human case near Brantford.


The national total has risen to 119 and 111 of them were bats.


There were two rabid Artic foxes- one of them in Manitoba, the other in Nunavit – four skunks and one dog in Manitoba.
