I need to rant about a news story i watched...

[paddock36]

I think rabies can be an issue anywhere there are animals.

I'm curious because the OP never mentioned why the dogs were to be euthanized and it seems the assumption is rabies..

I think the assumption is someone got bit. If a dog bites a person, and they don't have current rabies vaccines (and in some areas even if they do) they will be quarenteened (sp?) to watch for symptoms before they are pts. Or if the state or whatever was putting them down and wanted tests done, and the bodies were disposed of that would also be a problem. No one can say without hearing the whys of what happened.

The OP has not posted here since the original post. We're just guessing here, folks.

It was on TV. Nothing that's on our new's ever gets posted on Internet. NS is too small to do that

i think it may have been biteing, but then again this woman has 3 acres and they never stated where it happened. This woman was in her 60's i think, and i believe that the dogs were all up-to-date on there shots.

i would hate to give wrong info as it was one or two day's ago. There are a lot of issues with dogs in NS for some reason.

I was chewed thoroughly by a dog several years ago. The state health department required a 10 day quarantine, at home, because the dog was not current on shots. That was it. If these dogs were scheduled for euthanasia, I think it must have been either very serious attack or repeat offenders.

dutchhollow, I agree, but if you read my sig line it will explain why I don't make assumptions.
