Minot Mayor H. C. Kiehn and First District Health Unit Director Dr. F. E. Wheelon announced Friday that in response to a telegram from State Veterinarian T. O. Brandenberg they were urging Minot people to vaccinate or destroy their cats, to destroy all rodents possible, and to renew their drive to vaccinate all wanted dogs and destroy all unwanted dogs.

Why We Chose It

The idea of "destroying" their cats will make most people squirm today, but that's how serious a bite from a rabid animal was. Thank goodness for vaccines, if they're safe enough for our pets, they are certainly safe enough for us, right?
