The Department of Agriculture and the FBI are searching for 11 stolen cats from the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center in Maryland after an animal rights group claimed responsibility. The cats were part of Toxoplasm gondii experiments, a parasite linked to human birth defects. 17 other cats were also taken. Dr. Michael Ruff says the parasite can infect pregnant women and affects about 40 percent of U.S. cats, with the research aiming to prevent disease in livestock.
