    They dropped these in my mother in law’s suburban neighborhood. In her back yard. With no warning. My dog found and ate one, so it had me googling what the hell my dog had just eaten and wondering if she was going to die. Luckily we didn’t have any toddlers playing in the back yard.

    There’s 1 major problem with this. What if a poor person without health insurance finds this? What if someone picks it up off the ground and gets cured of rabies without ruining their life in medical debt? Won’t someone think of the shareholders? How will capitalism survive if people start picking these up off the ground instead of paying $60k per pill?

    Much of Europe (ie the rich parts) is free of terrestrial rabies because of such programs. Bats really get around, though.

    While i do think humans caring for nature is best done by not touching it, this is one thing humans can do for nature.
