They Lost Plague Mice?

Wow there should be some kind of accounting for this screwup at the Public Health Research Institute. They lost some mice that were infected with Bubonic Plague. And this is a very weak answer by them:

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.

Paperwork error? Eaten by other animals which are probably infected with Bubonic Plague right now? Hopefully not stolen by Al-Quida operatives? I think someone needs to be reprimanded for this mess.
