Victory over raccoon rabies - Tillsonburg News - Ontario, CA
rabies is a real issue still here in Ontario even with our mnr rabies program which is the best in the world i might add. One of the biggest factors in any animal disease spread is size of population , Raccoons living in areas which are overpopulated have disease spread much quicker than populations which are properly managed and aren't exceeding the carrying capacity of the land on which they live . Although some people disagree it's a fact that hunters and trappers harvesting the surplus raccoon from areas of overpopulation helps to manage these and helps to stop the spread of disease's such as rabies and distemper , With the current situation in the world economy the market for raccoon and other wild animal fur is faltering and it will keep many fur harvesters at home out of the field this season which could lead to overpopulation in the coming years and spread of these diseases again
