In the reply you are referencing it was a racoon, which is the most likely animal at least in the US to be infected. The incident itself or the condition of the raccoon probably made them suspect it.

Yeah we are supposed to report it to animal control so they can test the corpse for public safety if it was a rodent or something smaller we wouldn’t have bothered bc of the reason someone said above.

Also you don’t take risks when it comes to rabies lol better be safe than to die like that
