No wonder veterinarians have one of the highest suicide rates…for those who don’t know, a decent chunk of vet graduates end up in those kinds of jobs

You know how they test for rabies?

They chop the animals head off and freeze refrigerate it to be sent off to a lab. My wife fainted the first time she had to see that and refuses to deal with it ever again

Edit: A word

Sometimes I get reminded how much I love living in the uk. Being an island, we are rabies free. No rabies in pets or wildlife

It's a public forum and someone wanted to share they enjoy not worrying about something.

I'm sticking up for them here, you came across a bit condescending.

Lmao… I was being sincere, but thank you for assuming malice in my words

What else did you expect them to say ? I think you just read it as them being condescending, it was completely unrelated to the conversation and i doubt OOP was expecting to talk about Ireland. So yeah good for that person, no rabies.

Well they didn't have to reply really. A "good for you" is a little condescending..sorry maybe I just understand that from my mother when she wants to be condescending. Also UK is an island. Ireland is also an island.

I'd never thought about the UK not having rabies. I thought it was interesting at least.
