Skipping the rabies vaccine is not worth the risk. If your dog bites someone you will have no more dog...

I don’t really like it when things are required by law, but I really think rabies vaccines are very important.

I was going to say something about my cats always eating the whole animal, mice and birds when they get them earlier, but I knew it would upset you They are outside to catch mice. It does me no good to keep them in the house. Is there anything I can do to keep them from getting the birds? I’ve thought about the bell on their collar but, wouldn’t that scare the mice?

Anything you could put on your cat to warn birds will alert any predators that stalk cats.If your cat disappears you'll know why.
The number one predator to birds are bigger birds

Overreach of government is a problem.Many cities now require yearly vaccinations and tags or they'll take your pet. I don't know where they find all these people who are willing to make all these rules but if you miss one vaccination they're on your back and if they take your pet you won't get it back.

A friend of mine was told by the Animal Welfare League (mobile vet australia) that her now 8yr-old Sheltie would not require any more vaccines as a dogs' immunity was fine by said age. In my city dog registration is cheaper if the dog is desexed and I'm pretty sure the registration is lifelong.

I wish it was lifelong here LOL here you have to pay every year. But it’s cheaper if they’re spayed or neutered.

Yes, same here. Penalties apply to in-tact dogs and the registration fee is higher for known 'dangerous and restricted breeds.' My dogs aren't registered.
