Those poor raccoons. I don’t know what an autistic raccoon looks like, but these scientists should be ashamed of their… hmmm. I actually have no idea what the conspiracy behind animal vaccinations would be. Big science profiting just doesn’t fit right.
I used to work in veterinary medicine, and there are plenty of vaccine conspiracies in the pet owning community. They cause everything from seizures, to allergies, to autoimmune diseases, and more, according to some of these people. Breeders are a huge contributor to this, which leads to plenty of arguments with vets and pets running around unvaccinated.
It’s expensive to get litters of puppies vaccinated, and whackadoodle (I used “doodle” for a reason) theories are a great cover for why you are sending home a puppy with zero medical history outside of hand written worming dates. Unfortunately, it’s harder to educate people when it’s way cheaper to believe bullshit.
I guess all those things are worse than your pet getting West Nile disease, rabies, distemper, or any of the various diseases pets can get.
Some horse people have stopped giving their horses vaccines because " Wild horses don’t need them"(wild horses don’t live as long dumbfuck) and west nile is going rampant. Seeing a horse with west Nile so bad they need to be euthanized is not something I’d wish on anyone. It goes neurological in them and causes loss of coordination and seizures.
While i do think humans caring for nature is best done by not touching it, this is one thing humans can do for nature.
The notion that human beings are separate and apart from the natural world is colonialist nonsense.
Not sure if we are on the same page.
While managing woods, etc. has some validity, we do it for us to be more convenient. Infestations due to dead wood and forest fires do have their natural order.
And “humans being separate from nature”: We do like to create our ideal environments, like beavers. Be it due to us having next to no fur or it being a widespread trait in mammals, who knows. But humans affecting every ecosystem with their machines and being everywhere should either not do that (like some tribes) or not being everywhere.
I mean unless rabies is completely eradicated you’re still going to need to seek treatment immediately if an animal bites you unless you want to risk dying the most horrible death imaginable.
Did they really just cover the whole blister thing with fishmeal? I mean including the plastic?
Sounds like a great way to evolve vaccine-resistant rabies
