Great video - still wish "experts" would clarify how an unvaccinated infected animal is ONLY contagious during the final phase of the virus (encephalitic phase, when virus has reached the brain and is only now in the saliva). An animal from the time its infected is not walking around infectious to others until this time! There are only a few days before clinical signs begin that a seemingly healthy animal can be contagious, but it will be dead within a couple weeks.
@virus130 Well generally, countries like Africa that have less in the way of preventing and treating diseases, as well as less in the way of educating people about the disease, are countries that have the most victims of things like rabies which the average person is aware of. It might be simply that there isn't nearly as many white people that are victims of it to show symptoms, or that in most "first-world" countries, there are measures to prevent it from going that far.
Many countries don't have skunks and raccoons, bats are rare in cities and rabid cats are also rare. Stray dogs are the main vector of rabies to humans, so culling only them will do.
@r8wing Well, you'd have to cull stray, feral, and wild canids; stray, feral, and wild felines , and all bats and skunks. Not a logical suggestion at all.
@DarkTheShinyUmbreon Yeah, I know we all love to think animals are just like humans, but I honestly don't think a lion is intelligent enough to think to seek revenge on humans for killing other lions.
@Goldenflywarrior You are wrong actually. Wolves and many other predators kill for fun.
Such as two lions killing people for enjoyment in Africa, they were called maneaters. If you say people have no right to bash animals, then you're just a hypocrite, humans are animals.
Also how about you calm down and take deep breathes, kay?
Darn I wanted a pet Fox but looks like they're high at risk for rabies. What about Wolves or Wolf hybrids?
