It is a law that your pet must receive the rabies vaccine where I live.
If I do not have it done, I run the risk that my cat will be seized and put down (to test for rabies) if she ever scratches or bites someone who wants to make an issue of it.
One year there was a huge rabies spread and panic in the county where I live. Hundreds of beloved pets were legally seized and destroyed (so that the brain could be tested for rabies) b/c the owners could not prove their pets were vaccinated and even a slight altercation sent people to the police demanding the animal be tested for rabies. I just won't risk it.
