Death from rabies is rare in the U.S., with only one or two fatalities occurring each year. The statistics are different in less developed nations, where more than 55,000 people die each year from the disease, mostly in Africa and Asia.

Not surprised. Europeans place a higher importance upon animal control and have infrastructure to support mass concentrated agriculture, transportation, and food refrigeration.

In second and third world countries, transportation is come and go depending on how the local armed groups feel. Wild animals are the primary food source locals depend on to survive, oftentimes dried and preserved, but not thoroughly cooked beforehand. Lastly, theft is rampant to the point where scavengers and unwitting people are killed in their efforts to salvage the copper and PCB saturated coolant/mineral oil from power transformers. They steal the copper to sell to scrappers who sell it to China, and they sell the PCB saturated mineral oil to food vendors as cooking oil.

Frankly, when our economy stops providing them with freebies, we should see some interesting things develop.
