An avoidable death sentence
Rabies has a devasting death rate (95%), killing 59,000 people a year. Every day 150 people die of rabies; most of these people are children under 15 years of age.
Many more dogs suffer a painful slow death from this terrible disease. And many more are killed out of fear of the disease.
The only solution
Killing dogs is not the solution to stopping rabies – the only way to eliminate the virus is through mass vaccination. Vaccinating at least 70% of the dogs in an area creates ‘herd immunity’, slowing the spread of rabies until it dies out.
So, with your ongoing help, we will continue to work with governments and communities to manage dog populations humanely; and help people learn how to look after dogs responsibly. We do all of these things to stop millions of dogs being culled without reason every year – and to help communities and dogs live together healthily and without fear.
Every dog deserves a life worth living, a life free from cruelty and suffering.
