    BRUH what the fuck is going on on the east coast with rabid cats?!

    Also california has either the worst feral cat problem, the best program to address the problem, or - as I suspect - both.

    This means that the number of rabies cases in cats on the east coast is massively disproportionate.

        I am just an animal person.

        And a plant guy.

        A student of biology and lover of all living things (except fascists, I prefer them not living)

        This is what happens when you aren’t a dog person

        The data does not support this. California has as many if not more cats and none of them have rabies.

        This seems to be an east coast problem.

          Maybe it has more to do with the prevalence of the transmission method for the rabies virus and the fact that commiefornia’s most common transmitter animal of the rabies virus is nowhere near as numerically popular as the most common transmitter animal of the rabies virus is in New Woke and the surrounding Marxist states - nor mentioning the map you chose is actually a map representing the number of respondents to a poll (567 people I believe) and not number of Feral cats per state - In addition to the fact there wouldn’t be a significant rabies issue in the first place if there wasn’t a significant feral cat problem to act as a transmission vector for the virus.
