Here r a couple true rabies stories:a woman I know walked into her front yard,where a waiting rabid doberman was waiting,they sa w each other:the dog lunged for the kill,the woman lunged for a rifle inside the door,my friend got to the (luckily loaded)rifle in the door first.

But wait! I have more true rabid animal stories:a friend of mine who I will call 'd' went on a anti rabies rampage killing 3rabid raccoons (separate ocassions) with his bow

How to fight rabies:spread out a edible vaccine called simply:rabies bait.and kill infected animals making sure to burn and bury bodies,do not come in contact with body fluids or get bit.

Thanks! A friend of mine also clubbed what he calls a zombie coon,which is a raccoon with flesh eating disease......... since most mammals can become infected why don't we ever hear of rabid manatees?whales?dolphins?polar bears?

Bats can be carriers of rabies even when not actively infected,there is a video online where a band was playing and a bat flew up and bit a guy.

Luckily we are still rabies free in the 50th state. Dogs and cats are still subject to 120 day quarantine on arrival. Recently some animals can qualify for a 5 day quarantine program, unless you are president Obama; then the quarantine rules dont apply lol(his dog manages to avoid quarantine times)

Even though I know Bats are carrier's of rabies, was stationed in Texas and never flinched for some reason lol. San Antonio the river walk you will see hundreds flying around at night.
