No offense but your fear-laden beliefs cause agony and pain for vulnerable pets and their caretakers. There’s a question as to whether Rabies even exists. And no shots can ever do anything but harm—animals and humans. You’ve fallen prey to the propaganda that Big Pharma and their lackeys, the media, put out because people like you buy into their nonsense. All to please their shareholders with big profits.

Wake up, do some research and cease spreading fear-based BS to responsible and caring pet parents who have experienced first-hand, the angst and grief having live bacteria, viruses, aborted fetal cells, toxic chemicals, and other assorted garbage injected into their beloved fur babies and watching their trusting babies waste away before their eyes.

In the mountains, where no one takes their fur babies to vets ever, because they haven’t been brainwashed and have little funds to do so, have dogs living well into their 20s. Never any disease. When they die, it’s natural-old age.

I have had 1 dog die at 6 yrs old after his first ever rabies shot (for emigration), my next dog almost died due to vaccines. My parents Golden got DM from shots and had to be euthanized. My GSD/Lab got DM as well and died shortly before being euthanized.

The 6 yr old that died had no shots after the breeder at 9 wks old but still had antibodies at 5 yrs old.
Dogs are no longer automatically euthanized after a bite. I know of several people with dogs never vaccinated for rabies but still had antibodies to rabies. I tested my dog before his first rabies shot at 6 yrs old for curiosity sake as we live in a forest, but the second vial of blood was not useable and the lab only tested the parvo, distemper, adenovirus antibodies unfortunately. If you go to the right vet you do not have to lie to them, they know the dangers and do not require shots to treat your animal.

Hey Ramona, I see in your missive a whole lot of misunderstanding about the disease of rabies and about duration of immunity (the central point of the article). If you feel best getting repeated shots for rabies throughout your animal's life, so be it. Just don't criticize people who have learned more than you and act in a different manner. Your fears won't be shared by others here, who've learned enough to dispel them.
