This is inspired by a recent comment exchange regarding religion. Jesus is sort of like rabies. People have died because of rabies, even if they do not contract it. Animals that might otherwise leave humans alone go and kill them. The animals might be otherwise nice, but rabies makes them think that it's a good idea to kill. What's worse is that some animals kill people for not having rabies. Also, for better or for worse, rabies in this world does not kill people (directly). Now these animals are otherwise very nice, so you really can't euthanize them. Unfortunately, there's no known vaccine, and a cure is very difficult and based partially on wanting to be cured. In fact, some animals knowingly and intentionally infect their young with rabies.

There's some Brain Chow&tm; for you.
