seems odd: Animals who have been vaccinated for rabies are not permitted to enter Jamaica.

Vaccination uses dead rabies cells as a preventative.It works by giving the animal a slight case of the decease which then results in immunity. However the animal has in fact been infected.

James Jenner first tested his immunity theory by infecting a boy with cow pox by scratching his skin with the fluid from a cow pox blister. It worked and so he started using small pox fluid to vaccinate.

The word vaccine coms from the French/Spanish word for cow "Vaca"

I'm 75 and I was vaccinated with a scratch on the arm.

Fake rabies certificates are available for sale all over the Internet.

I didn't see the giraffe, but I did see several pink and spotted elephants. Most speak with a heavy accent.
I could imagine the feast the sand fleas would have with pets on the beach!

Could be the start of a new cottage industry like "rent a dread" would add "rent a mutt" to the mix.

Pass some of that over here.

The last time I was in that kind of condition it was J. Giles, Ten years After and Yes in LA.
Pass the koutchie on the left hand side!
When we lit up the last of the 16 we brought, the peeps behind us exclaimed, "They're still smoking?!"

don't think bringing a pet on vacation to jamaica is a good idea. Im' seen too many sickly looking animals in Jamaica to want to expose any pet to them.

I totally agree. In fact, I will go out on a limb here and say something that some (or maybe even most) may not agree with but "pet" isn't something that most Jamaican people would think to call their animals. Maybe around Negril there may be more but out on the island dogs and the occasional cat are tolerated and fed but not often shown much affection.

Dogs are usually kept to warn of an intruder and cats to chase off rats. Where we mostly like quiet dogs, they mostly want loud, barking dogs.

Just my observation.

Here one of our dogs and cats. The are both pet and working as described by Accompong. The dogs are allowed on the verandah but not in the house except an occasional "nose poke"
