Plague Carrying Fleas Threaten Santa Monica!

Or....not.

From today's LA Times:

Plague precautions — The "L.A. Then and Now" column in Sunday's California section incorrectly said Santa Monica had killed squirrels in Palisades Park "to reduce the number of plague-carrying fleas." It should have said the squirrels were killed "in part to reduce the potential threat of plague-carrying fleas."
