Unfortunately, there are far too many uninformed pet owners who fall victim to these kind of practices.

The wrong thinking is vets, who KNOW (or shouldn't be practicing) that even your old generic 1 yr rabies vaccines last up to 10 yrs. The compromise of 3 yrs is a fair one. Yet they KEEP pushing vaccines for revenue. I find it sad the legal system instead of the AMVA pushes for them to stop it, but if that's what it takes, good. Let people know they are getting ripped off and their dogs overvaccinated.
