A TALK ON RABIES

 

How do you differentiate a rabid dog from one with a panic disorder, displaced aggression or claustrophobia?

What are your responsibilities picking up stray animals?

Once infected, humans are incurable! What you need to know will be in the presentation where questions can be asked.
