In the study, published in the medical journal Vaccine, researchers asked 2,200 Americans their thoughts on vaccines and whether they were dog owners. If they were, respondents were then asked whether they would vaccinate their dogs for rabies.

Approximately half of the pet owners surveyed expressed some degree of vaccine hesitancy — with 53% saying they believed vaccines administered to dogs were unsafe, ineffective or unnecessary, the study found.

    Rabies is not something you want to FAFO with. You don’t just feel bad for awhile. You die a horrific death, game over, you lose, etc.

    And if you potentially do get bit, the human rabies vaccine isn’t a regular shot. It’s lots of shots over a period of time.

    TLDR get your pets fucking vaccinated.
