DENPASAR - After rabies infected dogs caused four human deaths in the Tabanan regency, action has been taken to prevent that from happening again. Some 5,300 dogs in a number of villages will be killed or vaccinated to prevent the virus from spreading further in the regency. Ni Nyoman Rusmini, head of the Husbandry Office in the region, said that some 14,000 dogs were already vaccinated and the remaining dogs would be traced down.
There are an estimated 38,000 dogs in Tabanan alone. Since Tuesday morning, people of the office were searching for dogs so the infected dogs could be given poisoned meat while others were just vaccinated. Other people were searching door-to-door for animals that had not yet been vaccinated. Some 20 dogs were killed in Tabanan since earlier this week. However not all residents are happy that some of the dogs are killed, it leaves them with little choice.
