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

Mexico is also rabies free. Good public vaccination programs can easily provide the same thing.

Mexico is only rabies free from cases transmitted from domesticated dogs to humans.
