π¦ πΎ World Rabies Day
π‘ Did you know?
Rabies was first confirmed in South Africa in 1892, when a rabid terrier was imported from the United Kingdom. More than a century later, the country is still battling this fatal disease, with hotspots in rural communities across the Eastern Cape, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, and KwaZulu-Natal.
The good news? Rabies is 100% preventable through vaccination. π
NSPCA Inspectors regularly visit these high-risk areas through community outreach programmes - vaccinating pets and protecting both animals and people from this deadly virus.
π Help us continue this life-saving work. Together, we can protect animals and people across South Africa.
