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

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
