What a crock of crap. That is the propaganda being dispensed by the puppy mills who want control the pet sales business. They already want $500 or more for a puppy. If they were the only ones allowed to have unaltered animals, they would quickly drive the price up over $1,000 apiece. Either Redbud is a sucker or he is one of the producers who want total control.

Wildlife is attracted to the food source and the cats are exposed to all sorts of parasites and diseases. Most cats cannot be re-trapped so any vaccinations they received expire. We must stop feeding outdoor cats, eliminate feral cat colonies and require spaying/neutering of all pets. This is a major problem with feral cat colonies.

Should they hunt down and kill every wild and/or domesticated animal that could possibly have rabies? Maybe they should put signs up in the woods asking all wild animals to come in for free rabies tests and vaccinations? You must be one of those people who think that it is the government's job to protect you from everything!!!! Molino Mom,

Bit one rabid rabbit. One rabid rabbit bit 100 relative rabbits. 100 rabid rabbit bit 100 rabbits each. 100 rabid rabbits x 100 rabid rabbits = 10,000 rabid rabbits. This was all last Thursday. What happens next? We are all in trouble.</p> One rabid cat. Bit one rabid rabbit.

Or is rabies continuing to spread unchecked in our communities? Has the health department actually done anything about this, besides putting out a “rabies alert”?
