The /kidsrabies/ part at the end there should be a sign.
I would say that they should be reported to the Government, except that it's A GOVERNMENT WEBSITE. The scientist-types who made this website have clearly never met a child before–though I suppose that if handling rabies-infected brains is what you do all day, you wouldn't have many chances to babysit, would you?
If you don't feel inclined to check it out, here's an overview: It's a children's website for rabies education. Except that the "activities" section has a lovely picture of a disected brain in petrie dish and the "warning signs" section (which has a very kid-friendly icon) features this enlightening list:
Signs of rabies in animals include:
- changes in an animal’s behavior
- general sickness
- problems swallowing
- an increase in drool or saliva
- wild animals that appear abnormally tame or sick
- animals that may bite at everything if excited
- difficulty moving or paralysis
- death
Sorry this post isn't about anything real... I seriously need to stop poking about on the internet.
AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Games and a colouring book!?!?!? The brain thing is rather creepy. Nice photos. I guess we really don't want to shelter our children. :) I think I'll have to send this to Grandpa Dave for his amusement and edification. I know he'll need a program he can pass out to his clients' children....
