EcoHealth's raccoon dog catch and release program detailed in @WhiteCoatWaste FOIA. Feb 2017 email from NIH sought details on EH testing program. 
Bat samples were sought methodically throughout SE Asia. Other mammals, including raccoon dogs. would be "opportunistically" sampled from live markets and farms. I read that to mean, when we get the opportunity to sample from markets, we will. HSM would seem a good opportunity.
What did they do with them? Some are euthanized, while "Animals that are sourced from markets and that may be potentially consumed, will be manually restrained without anesthesia, if possible, so that they may be returned to the vendor"
What does it matter? It almost certainly doesn't. I just thought it was interesting.
