Kris Christine, Founder of the Rabies Challenge Fund, sent this message today. California, for no apparent reasons, has designated all California counties "rabies designated areas" and proposes to quarantine all dogs with exemption for health. Please read!
Greetings All,
Dr. Jean Dodds approved the notice I just drafted and it has been posted onto the RCF Facebook page. In the meantime, we'll come up with something to send to the committee, but at least dog owners have preliminary notice that something is afoot.
Feel free to post it wherever you want to -- getting the word out is important. I think I'll post it to the dog boards tomorrow. It's been a long, exhausting day, and as Scarlet O'Hara says, "Tomorrow's another day!"

NOTICE: CALIFORNIA DOG OWNERS -- On 12/21/09 Dr. Ben Sun (916) 552-9744, Interim Chief of California's Veterinary Public Health Section, designated ALL COUNTIES in California as "rabies areas" http://www.cdph.ca.gov/HealthInfo/discond/Documents/2010_LHD_Rabies_Declaration_Letter.pdf.
The declaration states: "The Director of the Department of Public Health has declared all counties in California as 'rabies areas' in 2010. This declaration is based on the ongoing cyclic nature of rabies in California wildlife, and the resulting threat of exposure to domestic animals, livestock, and humans."
An April 5, 2010 amendment to AB2000 http://www.leginfo.ca.gov./pub/09-10/bill/asm/ab_1951-2000/ab_2000_bill_20100405_amended_asm_v98.html which seeks to add a medical exemption clause for sick dogs in designated "rabies areas," would included the following language:
" (2) A dog exempt from the canine antirabies vaccination shall be kept quarantined as directed by the local health officer, until the
dog's medical condition has resolved and the administration of the canine antirabies vaccine occurs."
This bill is currently in the Senate Rules Committee for consideration.
Under current law, the Department of Public Health is authorized to require annual rabies vaccinations in designated "rabies areas," which includes ALL counties in California for 2010. With the passage of AB2000 as amended on April 5th, dogs with medical exemptions would be required to be quarantined, which could be in an off-site pound or facility as determined by the local health officer, until their medical condition resolves or they are given a rabies vaccine.

I suspect that you may not visit with your dog, ship a dog for a breeding in CA , or take a dog out of CA, without proof of one-year rabies vaccine.

Why don't they just vaccinate the whole population of CA and get it over with?
by 1doggie2 on 15 May 2010 - 17:05
99% of the time they require the quarantine to be done at home. They come and check and then they will call or come out and release the dog. California is over the top.
Another reason for CA to declare this is funding from the feds, they need all the money they can get they are broke!

All they have to do is start exporting some of that medical marijuana and they'll be in the black in no time.

The first link doesn't work. Can someone please point me to an official Calif Health Dept document advising all dogs must be vaccinated annualy against rabies?

I think California has ALWAYS had these kinds of reports...not that I have the slightest interest in reading them in full.

ADDED: Oh by the way, there is this, but it doesn't say once a year, it says NO MORE THAN once a year...Oh hell, I have a headache, maybe it does.
