Public Information Film - Rabies Outbreak in Britain

[UncleKennybobs]

Keep babies out!

[DonnoJohnstonProject]

Thank god Britain no longer has rabies

[cupcakefairy87]

Animals shouldn't be used for public entertainment anyway. I bet the fox-hunt loving Tories would love to destroy the foxes in teir hunts if rabies ever did break out in Britain!

[ktqueena]

sounds like the DoG Pound.

[cupcakefairy87]

Sounds like the British love to kill their animals!

[cockneyskinhead]

Thought it was the littlest hobo to begin with!

That stray should have been shot on sight....he's probably the one spreading it, on and off of trains - different towns and cities.......hell, he may even be international!

.....theres a voice, keeps on hounding.....BOOM!

No more rabies!

[mhoulden1]

The Clive Swift rabies PIF is at youtube.com/watch?v=WteRPXpjBz­c and it does indeed talk about "death in a manner beyond description". Unfortunately it features someone who looks a bit like Tubbs from the League of Gentlemen carrying a cat in a bag

[hotelmario510]

To prevent rabies, they don't just kill the dog. They annihilate it completely in a nuclear reactor.

[plateshutoverlock]

That would explain Cleo and Hercule's behavior. Fortunately, no rabies got on Josephine Joseph

[RightWingHunter666]

ahh fuck they canceled the bloody cat show!

[vaguelyvintage]

No - Not the cat show!!!

[moksheebs]

out of Britain, then Europe, and give it to Nibiru in case they wanna kill us all.

[gerryono]

Didn't realize they still had flapper girls in the '70's

[loneshewolf74]

Boy, just one animal infected with a killer disease and they all turn into Chicken Little! Don't they have rabies shots for pets in Britain?

[MrEurocat]

@loneshewolf74 We dont need it - we dont have rabies in the UK. Our pets can have a "pets passport" which means we inoculate them (as you suggest). But since we dont have rabies, why pump stuff into an animal that doesnt require it

[MurderedByMidgets]

LOL I thought this was a joke. Apparently not.

[Amandamoo73]

the bit that freaks me out is when you see the dog warden looking all menacing with that loop thing in his hand.scares me every time!

[danglebearing]

Cat show cancelled, whatever

[LeninStalinCrusader]

Yes Claxtondog, i do! That poor dog, harmless looking dog. I love dogs!

[circusgirl16]

Why is ti the black innocent looking dog spreading dieases

[claxtondog]

Don't you feel sorry for that sad, lonely ostracized old pooch?

[mammothbeaver]

this scared me. the number of stray dogs I killed because of this film. In fact many of them weren't strays. And cats too. Cows and horses as well

[comedaman1234]

Why do the Brits make every PSA or so extremely...oh, idk, HIGH OCTANE NIGHTMARE FUEL? I mean, yeah, rabies kills, but...have you seen the one with the texting while driving (the one where the dead baby just stares into the camera??)

[GothicHorror10]

I love how they say 'destroyed' instead of killed. Makes it sound so much worse

[JoeScaramanga]

hahaha... how the hell do you restrain a cat?

Nice to see the spirit of these 'OMG it's the end of the world' PIFs still continues today

[vaj99]

Do they react like this on the mainland?

[Duvmasta]

LOL WUT?

[waveali]

I would love to get one of those Rabies Infected Area signs for my cubical

[FeygeleGoy]

It would be more fun than having a "Cat Show Cancelled" sign.

[Nintendavin]

They make it sound like bringing a dog over the border is like smuggling drugs...

[mutinyonthekitkat]

You can't shut yourself in a phone box nowadays either.

[brunster64]

When these Public Information Films were shown we didn't have the channel tunnel. It seems strange that now we are more at risk, they are not shown.

[rubis945]

THE MAD DEATH was a BBC drama about rabies hitting the UK, this brought back some memories of this.

[luckycanuck90]

HAHAHA nice one... lol

[Phobos957]

They don't just kill 'em, they DESTROY 'em!

[ETP1]

The show from the 1980s might have been an episode of a BBC series called The Vet, which had a rabies storyline, though I'm not sure the infected animal was a fox.

[Steveoqotsa]

Can anyone remember a series in the 80's about a fox that had rabies??I can't remember what it was called(anyone know,remember??)but it was quite frightening

[kyogemini]

PORE DOG!!! @*#@holes...

[mcdudester911]

god damn brits have no soul animals have feelins to

[RedFlower26]

Yeah. And when the animals have rabies, they'll feel like biting you.

[iownedu100]

you can tell if that dog had rabies, it will look all vicious and shit

[GWRtom]

yes but they are dangerous and fuck you twat

[LoafOfPint]

I was in Spain a few years back, and there was an area on the beach where at least thirty-odd cats and kittens roamed happily. I was bitten by one of the kittens, and I remember being paranoid for the rest of the trip. I never sought medical help, and since I'm still alive I guess I made the right decision. But I can still remember the initial fear.

[wormwoodpearl]

Aww, poor dog :(

[Duvmasta]

Rabies is some serious shit 'cause unlike AIDS rabies travels through the nervous system.

[Applemask]

Oh, absolutely. I didn't know much about it before I saw a PIF where Clive Swift says it means "death in a manner that is beyond description". I thought that was hyperbole, but then I looked it up and HOLY SHIT. That's just taking the piss.

[Applemask]

Living on the coast I saw lots of posters about Rabies, and they all gave me the impression - or seemed to be trying to - that ALL ANIMALS OUTSIDE BRITAIN HAVE TEH ANIMAL AIDS!!!!!ELEVEN!

[TigerWalrus26980]

I live on the coast, and I'm pretty sure I've seen one or two signs about the danger of rabies even now!

[divinedegenerate]

They are along the Thames in central London, too, at various mooring points, warning people not bringing foreign animals ashore... you know, in case you failed to notice your dog has rabies or something :)
