draggonlaadySomething to point out to any anti-vaccine crusaders ya'll come across.
According to the Global Alliance for Rabies Control, there are up to 70,000 human deaths from rabies each year, with 10 million treated for bites from potentially infected dogs. Rabies vaccination is highly effective, in humans as well as in domestic animals, but most humans (even in areas where vaccines are relatively readily available) are not vaccinated, and in many countries, neither are pets.
