RABIES EMERGENCY
BAWA is currently working to eradicate rabies in Bali. Through education programs, a hotline service for humans, a robust vaccination program and by working together with the local government, BAWA is hoping that rabies will be eliminated in the near future. So far in 2010 we have vaccinated and collared 68,000 dogs and this program continues on a daily basis. We heavily rely on the kind efforts of our volunteers and donors - and we need your support. Please donate or contact us to volunteer.

 And Why Should I Care?
Rabies is a viral disease that can be transmitted from animals to humans (we call this a zoonotic disease) and infects both domestic and wild animals. It affects the central nervous system (brain, nerves, spinal cord) and in the late stages of the disease the virus moves into the salivary glands and saliva. It is through exposure to the infected saliva that animals and humans contract rabies – through a bite from an infected animal, or an infected animal licking an open wound on a human or another animal.
