April 29, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. in Room 370 (room 300 alternate) Conference Room Division of Agriculture at 235 Promenade Street in Providence, RI. On the
Agenda http://www2.sec.state.ri.us/omfiling...2009/72956.pdf is changing the state regulation from requiring dogs and cats to be vaccinated every 2 years against rabies to the 3 year national standard with the inclusion of a medical exemption for sick animals.
Please contact the members of the Rabies Control Board (e-mails listed below) and ask them to change the rabies protocol to 3 years and include a medical exemption clause. Ask any concerned pet owner you know to do the same.
