Looks like most of them are stray dog attacks. There was an Indian operation where 25% of dogs rounded up had rabies, and vaccines fail due to improper storage.

- n8henrie 1y agoWhat? 25%? Isn't rabies in dogs lethal in fairly short order (like in humans)? I'm pretty sure the rural county in which I work hasn't seen rabies in a dog since like 1986. I work in an emergency room (frequently caring for dog bites) in an area with numerous packs of strays. Dog rabies is always a concern, but I've never seen a confirmed case.

- n8henrie 1y agoThese were tests done on carcasses, not on captured strays -- see also my parent comment. Rabies kills in short order.
