Since April, PETA has been targeting The Rabies Challenge Fund, which seeks to save the lives of thousands of dogs and ensure the well-being of millions of others by funding research with the goal of extending state-mandated rabies vaccination boosters from 3 to 5, and then hopefully 7 years.. If PETA is truly concerned about dogs' lives, they will channel their concerns constructively and launch a massive petition to the USDA to get them to change their vaccine-licensing standards. Every member of The Rabies Challenge Fund team would applaud such a movement.

Dog owners who would like to see PETA petition the USDA to change their Code of Federal Requirements , Title 9, part 113.209 , please contact PETA's policy advisor, Samantha Dozier at samanthapeta@hotmail.com 757-622-7382 and let her know how you feel.
