Did they really just cover the whole blister thing with fishmeal? I mean including the plastic?
Yeah the raccoons eat the fishmeal then peel back the protective backing, retrieve the pill and don’t wash it before eating it.
NO! Everyone knows those things are unopenable without scissors or a hammer or an RPG or something.
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.
Lucky as hell, your rabid dog would have fucked em up
I see the raccoon and all I think is this.
In my heart, I knew this comment would already be here.
Me looking at that rabioli
Came here to post exactly this. 🤣🤌🏽
I mean unless rabies is completely eradicated you’re still going to need to seek treatment immediately if an animal bites you unless you want to risk dying the most horrible death imaginable.
Those poor raccoons. I don’t know what an autistic raccoon looks like, but these scientists should be ashamed of their… hmmm. I actually have no idea what the conspiracy behind animal vaccinations would be. Big science profiting just doesn’t fit right.
I used to work in veterinary medicine, and there are plenty of vaccine conspiracies in the pet owning community. They cause everything from seizures, to allergies, to autoimmune diseases, and more, according to some of these people. Breeders are a huge contributor to this, which leads to plenty of arguments with vets and pets running around unvaccinated.
It’s expensive to get litters of puppies vaccinated, and whackadoodle (I used “doodle” for a reason) theories are a great cover for why you are sending home a puppy with zero medical history outside of hand written worming dates. Unfortunately, it’s harder to educate people when it’s way cheaper to believe bullshit.
Damn you Bill Gates!!
[shakes fist at sky?]
Babe wake up, new forbidden snack just dropped
More like free-healthcare just dropped!
Free healthcare and free food. Those raccoons are living like kings!
Yay! Street pills!
Literally from the sky as well
If my pets are any indicator of attempting this with animals they’ll gobble up the meal and leave the medication on the ground.
I snuck meds into cheese for my dog one time, and she is now forever suspicious of any and all cheese whether it’s cubed, shredded, sliced, whatever.
Peanut Butter camo unlocked!
Sounds like a great way to evolve vaccine-resistant rabies
If you mean an Immune escape that is not a real problem for rabies because that virus has a slow evolution as you can tell from the fact that the same vaccines that were used in the 80s are still used today. Compare that for example to flu or Covid-19 vaccines where even two year old vaccine types are considered outdated and not used anymore.
