Mice With Plague Disappear

Well, they didn't just disappear, obviously they went somewhere. If you would like details on this story, feel free to read about Mice Infected With Bubonic Plague Missing. I know I would certainly like to know where they might have ended up.
Federal official said the mice may never be accounted for. Among other things, the rodents may have been stolen, eaten by other lab animals or just misplaced in a paperwork error.
Okay, um, maybe I'm being a little overcautious here, but shouldn't they be a little more careful with mice that are carrying the black plague? "Woops, I misplaced the three mice that had bubonic plague - now what?" "Umm, I dunno ... let's go home early?" Next time maybe they can just accidently replace sugar with Ebola virii, or replace flu shot medication with Spanish Flu. Or hell, just shoot us all, it's probably cheaper anyway. Seriously, come on.
