Why are we mandating rabies shots for pets annually or even every three years? I believe these vaccines have not been studied adequately for effectiveness or for side effects. Pets have had increased cancer rates since there are more vaccines required, and it appears to simply be a cash cow for veterinarians. Cancers were previously unknown in animals at such high rates. Many breeders and owners feel that we are over-vaccinating the animals which causes these cancers and other side effects such as allergies.
States should no longer require rabies, however it should be available and optional.
