I can't see how England, as close as it is to the mainland, coulde be rabies free... Australia is because for a long time it took so long to get there that the trip served as a quarantine." Whoops, another bald-faced claim about how things "must be" without regard for the facts. But what can you expect from a mad Australian werewolf? :-) The main island in the United Kingdom is in fact rabies-free. (I have no data on the other big island, the one with Ireland.) There is a six-month quarantine on incoming cats and dogs to help maintain this condition. -=- Andrew Klossner (decvax!tektronix!orca!andrew) [UUCP] (orca!andrew.tektronix@csnet-relay) [ARPA]
