They do not do that if a dog bites someone however. They simply quarantine it and wait the necessary period of time for any rabies symptoms to appear. In fact all biters are quarantined whether there is proof of rabies vaccine or not because the vaccine doesn't always work. The quarNTINE IS IN YOUR HOME.
You were not actually trying to scare people here into thinking that might happen to their dog if they don't get the rabies vaccine were you? If so .....that is absolutely false!
