	"Try Australia. 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.
