Sounds like a great way to evolve vaccine-resistant rabies

If you mean an Immune escape that is not a real problem for rabies because that virus has a slow evolution as you can tell from the fact that the same vaccines that were used in the 80s are still used today. Compare that for example to flu or Covid-19 vaccines where even two year old vaccine types are considered outdated and not used anymore.

They dropped these in my mother in law’s suburban neighborhood. In her back yard. With no warning. My dog found and ate one, so it had me googling what the hell my dog had just eaten and wondering if she was going to die. Luckily we didn’t have any toddlers playing in the back yard.

Did they really just cover the whole blister thing with fishmeal? I mean including the plastic?

Yeah the raccoons eat the fishmeal then peel back the protective backing, retrieve the pill and don’t wash it before eating it.

NO! Everyone knows those things are unopenable without scissors or a hammer or an RPG or something.

If my pets are any indicator of attempting this with animals they’ll gobble up the meal and leave the medication on the ground.

I snuck meds into cheese for my dog one time, and she is now forever suspicious of any and all cheese whether it’s cubed, shredded, sliced, whatever.
