關於近期國內狂犬病爆發之新聞報導, 台灣動物協會特此聲明, 激勵提醒民眾不要反應過度, 也不要慌張。 In regards to the recent news of a rabies outbreak in Taiwan, Animals Taiwan urges the public not to overreact and not to panic. 目前只有野生鼬獾被檢驗出疑似狂犬病的病毒, 而非流浪狗與家犬。請各位不要因為恐懼而棄養您的寵物或傷害流浪動物。請保持冷靜並記得每年為您的寵物施打疫苗, 讓自己和他人的動物門都保持安全健康。 台灣動物協會每年定期為我們救援中心的動物們施打疫苗, 他們都很健康, 無狂犬病。請不要讓這次所謂的”狂犬病爆發”報導使您恐懼並不來救援中心幫忙這些無辜的動物, 或讓你不敢領養動物。 全世界裡不是只有台灣有發現類似狂犬病的病毒, 所以請勿過度緊張。美國, 法國, 德國, 香港, 義大利, 日本等國家都被列為有狂犬病的國家。 如果您準備搬離台灣, 請不要將您的寵物棄養。您的寵物還是可以跟您一起出國。您只需要事先了解對方國家的動物進口與隔離規則, 並幫您的寵物完成必須的文件以及施打疫苗。 台灣動物協會強烈反對大量捕殺流浪動物。捕殺流浪動物無法避免也無法控制狂犬病。唯一有效及正確的做法是CNR/TNR(誘捕-結紮-放回)並為這些動物們施打狂犬病疫苗。 A virus similar to that of the rabies virus was found only in wild ferret-badgers, NOT STRAY DOGS OR PETS as of now. Please do not abandon your pets or hurt stray animals out of fear. Stay calm and remember to vaccinate your pets every year to keep them and other animals around you safe. Animals Taiwan vaccinates all our animals at the rescue center every year; they are rabies-free and healthy. Please do not let the so-called “rabies outbreak” as reported in the news deter you from volunteering at our rescue center and helping these innocent animals or from adopting them. Taiwan is not the only country in the world that is found to have rabies, so please do not be overly alarmed. The United States of America, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan are all listed as countries with rabies. If you are planning to move overseas, PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE YOUR PET BEHIND IN TAIWAN. Your pet is still able to travel and move with you. All you have to do is to research and understand the import and quarantine regulations of the country you are moving to and to complete your pet’s travel paperwork and required vaccination in advance. Animals Taiwan is strongly against the mass catching and killing of stray animals. Killing stray animals will NOT prevent a rabies outbreak. The only proven and correct containment and prevention method is CNR/TNR (catch/trap-neuter-return) along with giving rabies vaccination to these animals.
