Indonesia: Bali Dogs to Get Rabies Vaccine

An outbreak of rabies has killed 93 people on the island of Bali since 2008, so authorities launched a campaign to vaccinate 400,000 dogs against the disease. Previously the government had been culling stray dogs to control the disease, but now under the auspices of the World Society for the Protection of Animals they are taking a more humane approach. The Australian government donated 370,000 doses of rabies vaccine, perhaps in part because Bali is one of the most popular destinations for Australian tourists.
