The laws at the state of North
Carolina requires that every dog
or cat owi.er have them vaccinal- ‘
ed against this dreadful disease
which Is deadly. As most people
know there is no cure for Jlabies
known to medical science once the
disease is contracted. All dog or
cat owners are urged not to sub
ject their neighbor or themselves
to this disease.
While dogs are responsible for
spreading 90 per cent of Rabies,
oats, foxes and other warm blood
ed animals spread tt also. Just
.because it is now mainly in the
state of Tennessee does not mean
that it will not spread into North
Carolina. It la a known fact that
' animals carying this virus laden
, disease travel for miles. All per
sons raving animals worth keep
ing are urged to give them pro
tection, to say nothing of the hu
man lives that may be saved by
’ wibnal vaednated
against Rabies.
It s strongly advised that all '
dairymen and farmers with beef
cattle or sheep have them vacci
nated.
The local Board of Health, the
County Commissioners and the
Local Health Department are cer
tainly n!o4 trying to place a sense
less and costly burden upon any
one, much to the contrary, they
are trying to help save lives of
people and animals.
This law will be followed up to
see whether or not it has been
complied with.
One innoca’atlon of the Rabies
serum will protect animals for 3
years. Anyone suspectng an ani
mal has rabies should notify their
Health Department at once. Any
one bitten by a sickly animal
should see their doctor at once and
follow his advice to the letter.
