I'm not sure if this is the right spot, if not, feel free to move it.
But I am bothered by the double standard. Dogs have to be licensed and vaccinated for rabies. Although cats can catch rabies just as easily as dogs do, (maybe moreso, since cats have more contact with bats) and transmit it to humans, there's no law mandating vaccination of them in my area.
I think that there also needs to be community activism to vaccinate ferals against rabies. I read a story recently where a little girl contracted rabies and the presumed source was a feral cat.
I was thinking of starting a petition to require cats to be rabies vaccinated. Does anybody have any other helpful suggestions for activism in this area?
