Attempted eradication is an ineffective means of preventing the spread of rabies. Vaccination is a much more effective way. So far the spread of raccoon rabies into Ohio from West Virginia and Pennsylvania has been prevented by vaccine baits either dropped by a plane or placed by hand in a 20 mile strip up the border. Control of rabies in wild animals has also been achieved by the use of these baits in Canada and Europe. It's more expensive than going out and killing a bunch of dogs, but way more useful.

I had no idea the vaccine could be ingested.
I thought it had to be injected. I think that is great that they are able to put it into a bait.

Rabies -- jus wait 'til the Chinese have decided that AIDS has reached critical public health status.
