While i do think humans caring for nature is best done by not touching it, this is one thing humans can do for nature.

We’ve been doing this on the european continent. In the form of fish heads carrying the vaccine. Almost no rabies cases ever.

Much of Europe (ie the rich parts) is free of terrestrial rabies because of such programs. Bats really get around, though.

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.

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 Compare that for example to flu or Covid-19 vaccines where even two year old vaccine types are considered outdated and not used anymore.
