Replies on How Safe is Your Pet from “Just a Rabies Vaccine?”

You bring up an interesting point. Fear is control. So while animal control may not come for your animal (I live in a conceal and carry state), landlords are starting to demand it. It is a lot more difficult to stand up to a landlord than a state official l.

The further away from a tyrant one is (tyrant can be the IRS), the easier it is to stand up and say no. It is much harder to stand up to an official closer to home, for instance the state demanding property taxes. If we are to win this, veterinarians have to get on board.

Most people in the country don't live near non-conventional vets. The tyrants take advantage of that. And that is why one in two dogs will get cancer.

I live in New York State (unfortunately) and the DEC recently confiscated a pet squirrel named Peanut and killed him to test his brain for rabies (in the absence of any symptoms) - the test came back negative but the parent was devastated. How can we protect our pets from that kind of irrational intrusion? And yes, moving out of NY is definitely one option.
