THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
The inevitable has happened.
The canine rabies virus has crossed borders into the United States.
The canine rabies virus has crossed borders into the United States.
Grocery stores are rapidly running out of food, and traffic in most places has crept to a stand still. Please do not panic. Here at CNN it’s our goal to keep you informed of the latest news, but also it is our goal to help keep you safe. That is why we have arranged a list of rules you and your family should follow. We strongly recommend going over these with your family and especially young children.
1.
Do not approach any canine, dog or wolf; even if they look appear to be friendly and docile.
2.
Prepare to stay inside for long periods of time for it will get very dangerous to be out on the streets. As we saw in Mexico dogs will travel in organized packs and have been known to surprise people in otherwise safe situations.
3.
When the sun sets do not go outside. Canines have better vision than us, and they also have a sense of smell that could track a human down in the middle of a corn field. Just because you don’t see them doesn’t mean they are not there. We can not stress this enough.
4.
Do not leave any children unattended. Many still see dogs as happy friends, but can turn on anybody in a fraction of a second.
Please follow our list in order to ensure your safety. There are mandatory evacuations for the southern counties of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, if you are living in those regions stay tuned to hear the counties being evacuated. You may also log onto our website www.cnn.com to see those areas.
There are many families out there with beloved dogs, and we understand how hard this will be but you need to get rid of your dog to protect your family and community. There is a program called “Project Infected” that is in motion as I speak. It is government run and their goal is to collect canines from the streets and families before shipping them to a facility that has come to be nicknamed the “Dog Resort”. For those living near it there is no need to worry for the Resort is over fifty miles in square footage and protected by so many things that the government says it’s on a need to know basis.
We will keep you up to date with any new information that we acquire from this depleting condition. Stay safe and God bless.
