The Importance of Rabies Vaccines

I really don't understand why it is so hard for people to get their cats and dogs rabies vaccinations. They are relatively cheap. I want to stress its importance because what some peopl may not know is that they could end up 3ith more than just a ticket for not keeping their pet up to date on their rabies. They could lose their pets as well. I learned this from an animal control officer. if a dog or cat bites another pet or person and it is reported, a bite report must be filled out. If the animal does not have current rabies vaccination, the owner has 2 choices. Keep their pet under quarantine for 6 months, or have the animals euthanized. That is a hard choice. If an animal is put under wuarantine, they have to stay in a small cage for 6 months, and they are NEVER allowed out of it. The only person to come into contact with the animals is the owner to feed and water it. It is not fair to the animal to live like this. animals feed off of their owner's attention. Without it they become depressed. I just felt the need to show how important a rabies vaccine is. I hope it gives pet owners something to think about.
