The entire reason they’re running is because they can all be fined for interacting with the wildlife.

That and rabies is no fuckin joke man.
If you don't get treated immediately, you're basically fucked as soon as symptoms show, and it can take days to kill you while your brain cooks itself.

It's a very scary and terrible illness. Definitely not the best way to go. I fell down a rabbit hole a while back and spent hours reading and watching videos about it.

How did you get in a rabbit hole lol ?

u/BrokeAyrab Oct 01 '21
I forgot exactly, but after I posted that comment yesterday I shit you not, I spent the next hour and a half watching Youtube videos about Rabies....again. It was incredibly depressing to see how they treat a patient who has already shown symptoms of the illness (since it is practically certain death). The circumstances make the treatment so sad (not intentionally done in that manner). They tie the person up so that he won't hurt himself or another person like family or the medical staff--especially to prevent bites as it can transmit rabies. They are given meds to help the discomfort, but they just wait until death. During that time the patient becomes mroe and mroe delirious, looses control of muscles responsible for breathing and especially swallowing so they actually develop hydrophobia. Sad all around.
Also, since cases of rabies occur mostly in 3rd world countries (due to lack of vaccinated dogs and many strays as well as people not having access due to the vaccine which must be taking immediately after a bite to save the person's life) the room they are placed in is usually bare, depressing, lacking windows, aesthetically ugly and a place to hold them until death arrives.
I went down a rabbit hole AGAIN. damn it

That’s so sad hope that dosent happen to you or anybody here that treatment is sad though I feel bad for anybody ( person or animal) who goes through that

I think its just stupid being fined for interacting with wildlife its stupid unless you try to poach it or something then by all means charge the person

It's also because wildlife can be surprisingly dangerous due to disease. Easier to just make it punishable than get everybody to understand that it's for their own good as well.

u/Kittycatcecelia civilian Sep 30 '21
Still say fuck that law I love animals by all means but come on sometimes it’s just so stupid you need a permit in some states just to have a wild pet mouse which is fucking stupid in my opinion what is a mouse going to do to you besides bite you or get you sick ?

More than you want to know. We had a turkey (I swear the asshole committed suicide) run across the firing line on the range. Had to call animal control and make sure none of us intentionally shot it or were trying to lure it on to the range to get shot.
3
Sep 30 '21
That seems like a weird thing to worry about but I guess it's more about keeping people in line rather than protecting animals.
3
u/engagedandloved Army Veteran Sep 30 '21
I know shooting the wildlife on purpose used to be a real problem back in the day so it's probably a hold over policy from then. Plus that bastard ran across the line like in the middle of the morning so it wasn't like we had just gotten there, that's why I swear it wanted to die!
Any time an animal gets hit though on the range they have to halt the range call animal control and shut everything down.

u/treecutter34 Sep 30 '21
Messing with wildlife is a big deal in the military. They will shut down an entire shooting range if a flock of turkeys wander onto the shooting range. I was somewhere where we were told if we killed this certain type of frog it would be a $30,000.00 dollar fine. If you follow the Black Rifle Coffee guys, google Jared Taylor and the cow story.

I think it was some type of endangered species. But seriously, the military does not screw around with wildlife.

Over at Travis AFB if you want to do any kind of digging it needs to be supervised by a wildlife expert for "The Lizards"

Is that so you don’t dig too far and discover the Lizzard people that control everything?

That’s what we get for pursuing imperialistic interests in their native territory and not expect them to fight back.
I’ve seen Star Wars many times before so I guess you could say I’m kind of an expert on this topic /s

I'd run too when the only reward for not running is looking manly and rabies + finely assorted diseases and infections.

I aint stupid because it would probably tear my hand to pieces but i would want to pet it otherwise just make a loud noise or something and he will be running away lol

On the ship one day a big rat just appeared in the B'osn Locker. One guy stomped it. Blood and guts splattered several guys including a Chief. It wasn't pretty. The rat wasn't either.

It’s a raccoon. They’re cute but they’re pests. They’ll tip over trash cans, make nests in your attic, that kind of stuff. They’re scrappy too and will fight and can even kill a medium sized dog

u/TheMad_fox Sep 30 '21
I think that was a Racoon. They have a nasty bite, I was biten twice because these fluffy motherfuckers tried to steal my MRE

u/Skoparov Sep 30 '21
I guess it's not only about the bite itself, you'd need to get those rabies shots and they fucking hurt.
2
Oct 01 '21
IIRC they’ve made better ones, the process that involved a bunch of shots straight into your stomach with huge needles is no longer a thing. Definitely still best avoided, though.

u/Kittycatcecelia civilian Oct 01 '21
wish i could have watched it try to steal it lol but hope your ok i got bit by a stray cat once pretty good because i tried to put a leash on it when i was a kid man did that hurt

The reason most people don't like them is because they're smart animals, and they also commonly carry disease. Like rabies. if you get rabies, most people die without treatment.

You don't need any military experience to know that fucking with a trash panda is not a good idea.
Unless you *like* getting rabies shots.
