Rabid skunk in city draws attention to need for pet vaccinations

Did it work at the courthouse in the treasurers department?

Come on now Wondering! Play nice!

That was funny though.

Rabid skunks. First sign of the Apocalypse.

Way to go Animal Control!!! Officer Warnke is such an asset to our community!

i once had a close encounter with a skunk except it wasnt rabid,this skunk was simply not very photogenic,and did not appreciate me trying to get a picture of it,the skunk did give me fair warning that it was about too spray and i ran as fast as i could for the house maybe next time i will use a zoom lens.

We have a 17 yr old dog--lives on farm
never been vaccinated...ever
this is about as crazy as h1 vac...

Health Hazard of Routine Vaccination: placing our animals at risk
Most pet owners aren't aware of the dangers in animal vaccinations that have been discovered in recent years. The major veterinary associations now agree that vaccinations can trigger all sorts of maladies, from allergies to cancer - but most pet caretakers (and many veterinarians, it seems) haven't gotten the word. "With vaccines that are repeated year after year, the frequency and severity of these side-effects in our pets has increased dramatically. Most of the problems involve the immune system. After all, the immune system is what vaccines are designed to stimulate. But they do so in a very unnatural way that can overwhelm and confuse the immune system." Dr. Donna Starita Mehan DVM

Dr. Charles E Loops DVM - "The first thing that must change with routine vaccinations is the myth that vaccines are not harmful. Veterinarians and animal guardians have to come to realise that they are not protecting animals from disease by annual vaccinations, but in fact, are destroying the health and immune systems of these same animals they love and care for Homeopathic veterinarians and other holistic practitioners have maintained for some time that vaccinations do more harm than they provide benefits. Vaccinations represent a major assault on the body's immune system.... Vaccine induced chronic diseases range from life-threatening conditions such as auto-immune crises to conditions destroying the quality of life of an animal as in chronic skin allergies."

To vet visits down-Thanks for sharing that information...vacs are just as harmful on our pets as they are on us.

Yay!! Officer Warnke!! I bet you feel like you are great asset to that great community Columbus! Maybe they will see you and give you a t.v. show of your own, like Animal Cops Detroit!! LMAO!!

To vet visits down...they need biz

Are you kidding me?? You wouldn't even know if your 17 year old dog has cancer from what I gather about your post...your too much of a tight A to spend the money to make sure your dog is healthy and not able to spread disease? Most pet owners love their animals and treat them like we would our own children, and if that means jarring loose and spending money to vaccinate them, that's what we do...so should we not vaccinate our children too cuz we should do everything "old school" wise? I bet you don't even know your ol dog is most likely suffering from hook worms or tape worms right now! Officer Warnke should be investigating you right now!!!!
