The U.S. Department of Agriculture this month announced the start of its annual raccoon rabies vaccination plan, one in which fish-flavored anti-rabies provisions are spread throughout parts of the U.S., in some cases by airplane.
The USDA said in a press release earlier this month that it was beginning its “annual distribution of RABORAL V-RG®, an oral rabies vaccine bait, in select areas in the eastern United States to prevent the spread of raccoon rabies into America’s heartland.”
The agency said the bait will be distributed “across rural areas by airplane and in suburban or urban areas by helicopter, vehicle and bait station.”
“ORV baits are coated with a fishmeal attractant and are packaged in two-inch plastic sachets or one-inch square cubes,” the press release said.
States within the distribution network include Massachusetts, West Virginia, Georgia, and Alabama.
“The agency said the bait will be distributed “across rural areas by airplane and in suburban or urban areas by helicopter, vehicle and bait station.””
…well alrighty then! THAT sure sounds like a good way to ensure accurate, consistent doses in a tighly controlled study!
/S!!!
More to worry about than rabies with raccoons.
Raccoonpox_virus:

…which is one of these viruses:

…of which monkeypox is also a member.
@General Malaise — Nothing yet about humans infected with a zoonotic raccoonpox pandemic? I figure it’ll hit the
MSMworld order globalist govt propagandizers second week of October.NYT headline:
RACCOONPOX PANDEMIC: BLACK EYES VIVID EVIDENCE
Domestic Violence Victims Hardest Hit
But the WHO is sure to demand the virus/disease be renamed. We can’t be calling is the COONPOX now, can we?
Uncle Al – and raccoon virus isn’t the only bad bug they can carry besides rabies. Leptospirosis, baylisascaris procyonis, giardiasis, salmonella, e. Coli, potential funguses and parasites (round worm – which can kill dogs and squirrels).
There seems to be less on the web about raccoon virus now than there used to be. A few years ago, I read articles claiming it was 40-50% lethal when contracted humans primarily by handling their scat.
Eradicate the varmints – they’re like deadly, furry diseased Democrats.
what if someone’s pet eats one of those packets?
This is why God invented .22 Thunderbolts – cures ’em EVERY time!
Raccoon city here we come….
This will end up creating a vaccine resistant rabies strain.
I doubt this has anything to do with the recent 20-foot mutant raccoon sightings.
I reckon next we’ll hear isolated reports of raccoons dying unexpectedly from heart attacks.
What about all the dogs who like to roll in stinky, shitty, messy stuff? Have they even considered that it might hurt dogs.
Oh, geez, I fought too coons for wot I thot was they’re fish and chips ……..
I wonder if they sprinkled that stuff in congress if it would treat TDS?
A great idea.
And they should flavor Monkeypox vaccine like the anus of gay Brits.
