The truth

Rabies is real.
And it's still killing.

0people killed every year
0 minbetween each death -
mostly children
0%preventable. Every single
one of them.

And millions of healthy dogs are killed trying to stop it.

Governments order mass culls. Families are told to kill dogs they love. It doesn't even work — and the children keep dying.

A dog

Contains scenes some viewers may find distressing.

No dog or child
needs to die

Rabies is one of the most agonising deaths on earth - and once symptoms start, there is no cure.

Together, we can protect them.

The world's answer is wrong

Cruel. Futile. Unsustainable.

Cruel

Millions of healthy dogs are clubbed, poisoned and shot in mass culls. Families are ordered to kill dogs they love.

Futile

Kill one dog and another moves into the space to find food. The cycle restarts, and rabies never leaves.

Unsustainable

$5bn a year treating people after they're bitten — money spent forever, on a problem that is never solved.

There is a better way.

Dogs can protect people

The dog isn't the threat. It's the answer.

99% of human rabies deaths come from a dog bite. So don't chase the disease in people — stop it in dogs. Vaccinate 70% of the dogs in a community and transmission collapses.

70%

Vaccinate 7 in 10 dogs and rabies has nowhere left to go. Proven — Goa is now rabies-controlled.

$5bn

Spent worldwide every year treating people after the fact. Vaccinating dogs ends the cost, permanently.

0

Dogs that need to die. Culling stops being the answer the moment vaccination starts.

WVS is powered by volunteers including vets and vet nurses - thousands of them, arriving to do this by hand.

They fly in, join local teams, and work street by street until every dog is protected. Donate today, and you become part of the team ending rabies for good.

Every dog you vaccinate stands between rabies and a child like her.

That is the shield.

£3 can add one more dog to it

What your £3 builds

Every vaccinated dog becomes a shield.

Each dog is marked and mapped. Territorial by nature, it guards its own patch - a living barrier rabies can't cross. Enough of them, and whole regions are protected.
