Dog Bite Fever

Dogs are everywhere here. There are estimated to be around 200 million dogs in China. The dogs are most abundant in rural areas. The rural population of China is poor. They cannot afford to have thier pets vaccinated. They cannot afford to go to a hospital after a dog bite. Last year 3000 people in China died of rabies. 98% of all cases are from dog bites. Earlier this year a spike in rabies cases in a town in southwest China spurred the slaughter of 50,000 dogs. Picture a pile of 50,000 dead dogs. What would Bob Barker say?
