10th rabies victim in Rayong dies

By The Nation

 

A 10th person has died with rabies in Rayong, Disease Control Department director-general Suwanchai Watanayingcharoenchai said on Wednesday.
 

Suwanchai said the 59-year-old man died on Tuesday after being bitten by his own dog in March.

 

The disease control chief said most of the rabies victims ignored calls to receive rabies shots after they were bitten by their own pets or some had not received the full dose of the vaccine.

 

The Livestock Development Department has announced that it is still in the process of cooperating with administrations nationwide to give rabies shots to some 10 million stray and pet dogs and cats.

Surely its time for the "Set Zero" option to be fully implemented ?

What hope is there for soi dogs if owned dogs have rabies? Time for a cull methinks.

If it were the DOGS getting infected from PEOPLE biting THEM, then the outrage would be boiling over!

Remember the big placards at veterinary clinics years ago saying:

"Welcome Australian Pet Lovers"

It was a more or less hidden way to announce they sell Nembutal. They probably ran out of stock.

Luckily rats dont carry the rabies disease.

^When the soi dogs are all rounded up,  the rat population will explode..

 

They might not have rabies, but they certainly carry a lot of other nasties.
