Cats and dogs are regulated regarding rabies- it is.peoples stupidity and.penny p inching (not vaccinating healthy animals etc) whic leads to the.incidental occurances, that and the natural wildlife.reservoirs. most states require you to license a dog and provide proof of vaccination. It is not the law abidingnpeople that are exposing mm others tom dangerous animals (snakes and.unvaccinated dogs, etc) it is those.who think.the law does not m apply.to them.

I understand where you're coming from as well. I actually work at an animal hospital as a vet tech and I constantly work with aggressive dogs/cats that are not vaccinated. It's always a huge risk to get bitten by them because their mouth caries so much bacteria you can possibly get an abscess.

My whole point is that way more damage is done by dogs/cats to humans than snakes but our lovely government wants to start banning species of snake.
