The Deadly Link Between Thai Puppy Factories And Rabies - The Nation

 


An article in Thai English-language newspaper, The Nation, regarding the indisputable link between puppy farms and rabies in Thailand.

It is incomprehensible why someone would choose to buy a potentially non-vaccinated puppy from a breeder or market, when countless shelters and rescues around the country have healthy, vaccinated pups in need of homes and available at no cost to the right families.

Soi Dog Foundation continues to urge the government to regulate and curb the trade of factory-bred puppies and the free movement of these puppies from rabies-endemic provinces to areas that are rabies-free.



Humans rarely contract rabies from some crazed foaming-at-the-mouth beast in the street. The majority are bitten by their own pet
