Off topic, but that reminded me how blowguns were a big fad in South Florida in the mid to late 90s. You ever see those bars that have axe throwing? Or videos of them? That was what this was, but with blow darts. My dad bought me one that I still have. It came with some pretty fucked up kinds of darts.
Bill burr has a bit where anti vaxers have to run the length of a football field while people shoot vaccines at them from a helicopter. If they make it they get to not be vaccinated, and it’s made fair because the people shooting are anti-gun lol
I met an anti vaxxer once. She tried convincing me that ivermectin would cure my autoimmune disease. I asked her where all the peer-reviewed studies on that outcome are. She stopped asking me to try it. lol
Just because some doctor with years of medical training backed by peer reviewed scientific journals and literal decades of proof tells me I should vaccinate doesn’t mean I’m gonna listen to that quack! I’m gonna listen to this woman on Facebook with 20 thousand views instead. /s
First world countries are pretty sheltered when it comes to pets.
There are 59,000 deaths from rabies, worldwide, per year and most of those are from canine rabies. 21,240 of those deaths were from India.
In 2024 there were nearly 4 million dog bites in India alone and that number is the amount that people saw fit to report.
Am I crazy or is 59,000 a pretty low and insignificant annual cause of death for a global population? I guess I can see the 21,000 in a single country being a big deal
59k is a ton of deaths for something that has vaccines for it though! And it is such a horribly awful way to die. Frankly thats a very reasonable reason to get rid of as many feral street dogs as possible. And people talking down about ‘third world countries’ dont know what theyre talking about, because EVERY country does this to animals that are a danger and overpopulated.
Australia drops poison to get rid of feral cats in the desert because they eradicate biodiversity. Alberta a province of Canada is Rat-free (no rats within its borders) because as soon as a person spots one or a few they have animal control get rid of them. In America there is frequently hunting culls of animals like wild boars.
Yeah I remember being on vacation in Mexico and having to repeatedly tell British tourists not to hand feed the local wildlife. I would tell them they could have diseases and be rabid and they would look at me like I had two heads because the idea of a small mammal having rabies was completely foreign to them.
Yea fair enough, I guess I’m not contesting that this should be done, any rabies is too much rabies in the world for my preference. I’m just honestly shocked the numbers are so low.
I think part of it is that its a virus that usually kills. Bats can be a host for a long time, and some other mammals may not have symptoms for a while but eventually it kills and cant spread.
Less traumatizing than getting rabies. And distemper and all that crap, there is a couple corona viruses that attack dogs they vaccinate for in n america anyway.
One, I think parvo, they squirt liquid in the nose, not sure if there is injectible options for that.
It is also a lot safer,. I just got back from two weeks traveling in Egypt. The dogs are EVERYWHERE and many of them barely above feral. Many of them are also suffering from diseases transmittable to humans.
While you may want to be more 'humane' it is simply impossible to approach or handle these dogs safely in a timely manner.
Rabies kills 60,000 people worldwide every year, and humans get Rabies from dog bites more than any other animal and it's not even close.
These vaccines save the dogs and people who may get bitten by them in the future. This is also a good program because the alternative is 'getting rid of them' which is awful to imagine.
i feel like the concept of rabies itself being such a flawless phage for mammals is already incredibly horrifying alone. cant imagine actually going through it.
I have an actual phobia of rabies, idk if I'll be able to travel to remote areas of the world again (have done so once before) without being shit scared of every critter and wondering if the nearest hospital even has the vax
Fyi there is a rabies vaccine you can get before travelling. My mom had to get it for her africa travels and I think it was multiple doses over a few months but then you will be immune. Idk how long that lasts but maybe that would be an option for you?
I got it too when I went to SE Asia! I was talking about it years later and NO ONE believed me! Every one was agreeing that I was wrong and the vaccine only exists for pets!!
I don’t remember it being multiple doses but I do remember they gave us a few other vaccines too right before the trip.
It’s just nice to be validated by your random Reddit comment haha thank you stranger. It’s always stuck with me how everybody in the room was saying I was wrong! And I knew I wasn’t.
That's wild! At my GP's office are even hanging posters about the vaccine and which regions are the most dangerous to travel to. Happy to validate you 😅
I just looked it up, it's three doses and then you're 100% immune. The second one a week after the first and the third one 3-4 weeks after the first. To stay immune, depending on the vaccine used, refresh vaccinations every few years are needed.
if i remember correctly, India makes up like 22k of those deaths annually, and all of africa combined make up another 36k, which means, like 2k deaths from rabies left (still horrendous) spread all out the globe between the rest of Asia, Europe, NA, SA, and Australia.
glad this gentleman is trying to combat that number in Africa
I imagine potentially getting bitten by a panicking dog while trying to prevent a fatal disease spread mostly through dog bites would be counterproductive.
Me too. All the previous dogs had had basically an identical reaction too, so I was waiting for a rapid fire and all three doing the same thing at a short delay.
Generally not an issue. You'd have to vaccinate the same dog many many times in very short period before it would experience anything beyond mild discomfort.
Im curious will the dogs get the full dosage of the vaccine as I notice that when a guy shoots the vaccine darts, it immediately falls out as compared to humans where when u get vaccinate, the nurse or pharmacist leaves the vaccine in ur arm for several seconds.
Aside from an overwhelming fear and distrust of blow dart tubes and the paranoia that there’s someone around every corner with a blow dart waiting for you to let your guard down.
The animals on this planet need to be less trusting of us if we are to survive together anyway, this is an overall good thing to promote a healthier life with less disease and healthier fear of humans.
They put tag clips on their ears after the process you see in the video. I live in Egypt and almost all stray dogs have these tags on their ears. Also, cairo is now building a massive stray shelter to give these stray a better chance. Source: Cairo Governorate allocates land for stray dog shelter
I actually have answer for this! The most common method is spraying a bright color (blue, green, red) on the dog's head or neck, which is safe and washes off, allowing survey teams to see treated dogs.
If they are doing spay and neutering usually will be done with an ear tag or by clipping their ears.
There were Qultists that actually believed this was happening. They’d get a skeeter bite or something and make a big long post about how they believe they were vaccinated by blow dart.
They should have used this on my mother who refused to get vaccinated even though she was in the highest category of needing it and the first group it was available to.
They should've used this on my uncle who died from it and who used to send anti-vax conspiracy nonsense to my grandma who thankfully was not so stupid.
This is actually one of the best ways to vaccinate them — no rough grabbing or forcing. It’s a quick, smooth method that gets the job done without stressing the dog out.
"Maxi-Ject Blowpipe Systems enable you to easily and economically inject a wide variety of animals remotely without the trauma of other systems. Virtually every size of animal can be safely injected, from small animals such as cats and dogs to bigger animals such as deer, cattle, horses and large exotics. With a velocity of 150 feet per second and an accurate range of up to 60 feet, it is suitable for most field situations."
Egypt used to have people go around with shotguns to reduce the dog population. That they now have vaccine and sterilization programs is a massive improvement.
Imagine being a dog and all of a sudden you get woken up from your nap like “goddam it, Ahmed! I’ve been darted 5 times this week! At least add a microchip or shoot us with a paintball gun after!”
Curious, is there a risk of failure due to the method of admin? Does the vaccine only need to break through skin? Or does it need to enter muscle tissue? I’m only asking because I can’t really tell if the person is aiming for anywhere in particular on the dogs. I’m just not sure
Likely doesn't really matter as long as it doesn't land on bones, rabies vaccine is generally subcutaneous, it will still work if injected in the muscle.
Some rabies vaccines (at least for animals) are also oral. In central europe (Czechoslovakia specifically) in the 80s and 90s we were airdropping food with a rabies vaccine (weak, live virus) into the wild so the foxes, which accounted for like 90% of cases, would eat it and become immunised. That along with mandatory vaccinations of pets basically eradicated rabies in land vertebrates in Czechia in 2004. IDK about others but this type of wildlife vaccination was used somewhat often in central and western europe
Also in Czechia we've had like 6 cases of bat rabies in the last 20 years and no rabies in humans (and other land mammals) since 2002
There was a dog with a big festering wound in Panama once. My friend said it could be jungle rot which is fungal. I had an old tube of fungus cream in my bag and while it was sleeping I dropped some on the wound. The dog woke up, so pissed, betrayed, and licked it off while licked the wound some more.
It was perfect, it was actually rubbing it in and treating its mouth too. A few days later I saw the dog and the wound was completely dry and healing. So my response to the people saying this is mean, I will always risk a short betrayal for overall street dog health.
Vaccination of animals doesn't just protect the individual animal...
It also reduces the chance of global disease - including variations that could infect humans. Stop letting these viruses reproduce and we decrease the chance of another pandemic.
The temple dogs in Cairo and Gaza are my favorites! They are super chill and just hang around and bother nothing. Im so glad to see their government take care of them. Wish the US would do the same.
It may look like they're betraying the dogs trust on some of the clips
But trust me, this is a LOT LESS TRAUMATIZING than having strangers hold the dogs down
Also probably less traumatizing than whatever illnesses they'd contract without the vaccine.
If only more humans (specifically Americans) were capable of understanding this simple, straightforward, scientifically-backed concept.
Get me a blowpipe and a flight to Florida
A blowpipe is a different thing in America, be careful
You, you typically go to florida to get your blowpipe.
So long as you don't go to Alabama because that is a different type of blowpipe.
Alabama blowpipes are family heirlooms. No way you're getting your fix there.
Had a great laugh, thanks. 😆 🤣
Excuse me while I clean up the soda spit take I just had.
Instructions unclear, ended up in Miami with a crack pipe
Unfortunately, I’m fresh out of blowpipes (it’s been a year)… but I will happily pay for your plane ticket if you agree to do Texas next.
Off topic, but that reminded me how blowguns were a big fad in South Florida in the mid to late 90s. You ever see those bars that have axe throwing? Or videos of them? That was what this was, but with blow darts. My dad bought me one that I still have. It came with some pretty fucked up kinds of darts.
My husband bought a set too. He blow darted a pillow to show off, it happened to be a pillow to a $10,000 sofa so I guess he's a bit of a dummy

Thanks, I hate it.
I'd watch this with a big bowl of popcorn. Play yakety sax over it.
Somebody get this guy a Netflix deal ASAP!
Bag and tag them!
Blowpipe? Florida? You're trying to steal Tony Montana's stash aren't you?
Bill burr has a bit where anti vaxers have to run the length of a football field while people shoot vaccines at them from a helicopter. If they make it they get to not be vaccinated, and it’s made fair because the people shooting are anti-gun lol
These dogs are now part of the 5g wifi mesh network!!!
I just got a post above this about how the measles numbers in the USA are rising again
The funny thing is, Americans on average agree in overwhelming numbers dogs and cats should be vaxxed, neutered, and population controlled.
It's the human side of it that gets debated.
I met an anti vaxxer once. She tried convincing me that ivermectin would cure my autoimmune disease. I asked her where all the peer-reviewed studies on that outcome are. She stopped asking me to try it. lol
Just because some doctor with years of medical training backed by peer reviewed scientific journals and literal decades of proof tells me I should vaccinate doesn’t mean I’m gonna listen to that quack! I’m gonna listen to this woman on Facebook with 20 thousand views instead. /s
Ffs dudes, at least give them a treat afterwards!
Sorry, the guy in charge of that has rabies from drinking raw milk. Or maybe from eating a dead bear he found on the side of the road...
The fact that nurses I work with don’t understand this simple, straightforward, scientifically-backed concept 😡
No. Best l can do is a measles outbreak currently escalating in South Carolina.
But muh autism
This is almost certainly rabies vaccination, so there’s also a strong public health component too
Can't be traumatized if you're dead
Check out what they are currently doing to dogs for the upcoming FIFA games.
Or just slaughtering them, like is routinely done in many countries.

Rabies is basically extinct in some countries, like the UK I think. (Edit: I googled and technically its still in bats but they got rid of it in land animals https://www.gov.uk/guidance/rabies-epidemiology-transmission-and-prevention)
59k is a ton of deaths for something that has vaccines for it though! And it is such a horribly awful way to die.

I think part of it is that its a virus that usually kills. Bats can be a host for a long time, and some other mammals may not have symptoms for a while but eventually it kills and cant spread.
Few notes:
1) it's a larger number than the annual gun deaths in the USA
2) it's easily preventable with a single dose of a cheap vaccine. Most attacks are from stray dogs.
3) it's basically 100% fatal. When they say 59,000 deaths that's also 59,000 cases.
saw this in Ethiopia, it was surreal
I mean a lot of the rabies deaths there are children.
If you regularly saw human children die in such a horrific way, you might have less attachment to dogs who are the source of it
A lot less traumatic than rabies, which is a very big problem in much of the developing world.
At first they'll feel like someone shot their Pa.
Later we'll all be thankful someone vaccinated their paw and the rest of them.
source: im a dog
Who's a good Boi?!!!
Be canid with me
What about when the dogs become autistic from the vaccine?
Nah it’s only if the mother gets blowdarted with acetaminophen
Apparently there are people expressing concerns to their vets about "pawtism".
Less traumatizing than getting rabies. And distemper and all that crap, there is a couple corona viruses that attack dogs they vaccinate for in n america anyway.

Wow 🤯 60,000 a year?? Unbelievable. Ughhh it’s such a terrible death sentence too!
If it's not the absolute worst way to die then it's at least in the top 3. It's horrifying
i feel like the concept of rabies itself being such a flawless phage for mammals is already incredibly horrifying alone. cant imagine actually going through it.
I have an actual phobia of rabies, idk if I'll be able to travel to remote areas of the world again (have done so once before) without being shit scared of every critter and wondering if the nearest hospital even has the vax

Come to Australia. Just don’t touch any bats.
Agreed. The videos of people with rabies trying to drink water are absolutely horrifying!
if i remember correctly, India makes up like 22k of those deaths annually, and all of africa combined make up another 36k, which means, like 2k deaths from rabies left (still horrendous) spread all out the globe between the rest of Asia, Europe, NA, SA, and Australia.
glad this gentleman is trying to combat that number in Africa
Just Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Australia doesn't have rabies.
Australia has rabies cousin though. Someoen just died from it recently from a bat bite.
Australian Bat Lyssavirus
Still looks better than catching them with a net and then vaccinating.
I imagine potentially getting bitten by a panicking dog while trying to prevent a fatal disease spread mostly through dog bites would be counterproductive.
I'm kind of scared of needles, it's mostly the anticipation that kills me, I kind of think I'd prefer this.
You're filling out forms and the doctor just pokes their head around the door and voila! Flu vaccine administered
Thank you for this visualization, I’m cracking up over here!
How do they mark the dogs and make sure they don’t get vaccinated multiple times or even worse 0 times.
Really thought he was going to ping all three when they were lined up like that.
Me too. All the previous dogs had had basically an identical reaction too, so I was waiting for a rapid fire and all three doing the same thing at a short delay.
The one closest to the camera was a cat.
Eh, get him too
let's just vaccinate anything that moves
I dunno why but this has had me laughing out loud for five mins now! lol
How do they know which ones have already been vaccinated this way?
Generally not an issue. You'd have to vaccinate the same dog many many times in very short period before it would experience anything beyond mild discomfort.
Im curious will the dogs get the full dosage of the vaccine as I notice that when a guy shoots the vaccine darts, it immediately falls out as compared to humans where when u get vaccinate, the nurse or pharmacist leaves the vaccine in ur arm for several seconds.
It's probably a tranquilizer dart but with a vaccine in it so the impact injects the fluid inside
Oh I see thank you for explaining the mechanics of it. First time hearing this time of vaccne shot 😊. Really interesting technology ngl.
The injection darts for blowpipes work with air pressure, the entire vaccine is in their body mere milliseconds after the dart gets triggered.
Aside from an overwhelming fear and distrust of blow dart tubes and the paranoia that there’s someone around every corner with a blow dart waiting for you to let your guard down.
It's a little poke, for a street dog it probably doesn't even register as the 5th most painful thing that week
Most also won’t understand where it came from
Better than grabbing the dogs and holding them down while trying to inject them with a needle and hoping no one gets bit in the process.
Hoping nobody gets bit while vaccinating for rabies....
Wait till this guy finds out dogs were used in war.
The animals on this planet need to be less trusting of us if we are to survive together anyway, this is an overall good thing to promote a healthier life with less disease and healthier fear of humans.
I mean... what's the worst that can happen? You vaccinate a dog twice: big deal.
People are scared of vaccines because they’re stupid.
I read this in a Joe Pesci voice for whatever reason
Great, now the dogs got double autism
Autism²
No, that would happen if ypu vaccinate the vaccine and use this autism infected vaccine to vaccinate someone
THEY'RE VACCINATING THEM WITH TYLENOL‽
Twice the microchips now.
The i7 is an i9 now
They get the dogs to sign a form after each jab
And a release to be in the YouTube video
They put tag clips on their ears after the process you see in the video. I live in Egypt and almost all stray dogs have these tags on their ears. Also, cairo is now building a massive stray shelter to give these stray a better chance. Source: Cairo Governorate allocates land for stray dog shelter

You could do a most dangerous game scenario with joe rogan.
There were Qultists that actually believed this was happening. They’d get a skeeter bite or something and make a big long post about how they believe they were vaccinated by blow dart.
Now I wish I’d gone to some of the anti-lockdown marches with a blowpipe.
They should have used this on my mother who refused to get vaccinated even though she was in the highest category of needing it and the first group it was available to.
They should've used this on my uncle who died from it and who used to send anti-vax conspiracy nonsense to my grandma who thankfully was not so stupid.
oof, at least grandma was smart. Sorry about your uncle. Antivax is a plague of its own.

Instead of "is the dog wearing a collar" to separate strays from owned dogs they go "are they wearing a mask? No? Here's your shot!".
This is actually one of the best ways to vaccinate them — no rough grabbing or forcing. It’s a quick, smooth method that gets the job done without stressing the dog out.
What happens to the dart stuck to them? Does the needle break off?
As someone else pointed out, it seems like a tranquilizer dart with the vaccine in it. It’s designed to hit, inject the fluid, and fall out

This is what RFK Jr thinks the CDC does all day
It's what the CDC should do all day.
to babies, no less.
In maine they just air scatter edible vaccines in the woods.
what are they vaccinating them from? (genuine question)
Probably rabies.
Definitely rabies
Probably a combo that includes Rabies, Distemper, Parvo, and some cold/flu strains. Distemper is still a huge problem in parts of Africa.
Now all of these are autistic smh
Autism is caused by regular strength Tylenol.
Will extra strength Tylenol make me a savant?
Worth a shot.
Got it, extra strength and a shot of whiskey. I'll need that intelligence before my shift handling heavy machinery.
Oh yeah sorry. My bad, I don't follow the latest research...
Who needs research, there's plenty of anecdotal evidence!
I used to say a friend's dachshund was autistic. That dog was so aloof, and he had a singular fixation on digging. He'd do it all day, like a job.
As a dachshund, that’s his job description. Dig for dachs (badger), get in hole, get dachs out
Who let the dachs out!?
Exactly
You just described a dachshund. That's how they are. They dig and kill any toy with a squeaker no matter how durable it lies and says it is.
Well no-one got bitten atleast
*pawtistic
This may be the solution in the U.S.
For children.
Recruit all the school-shooters to walk around with a vaccine-rifle instead of an AR-15. Two huge US problems solved in one go.
The only way to ensure they all get all their shots
Need these blow dart vaccines in 'Merca.
How do they get the dart off afterwards? Or it will just fall off on its own on the street leaving a sharp needle lying around?
Came here looking for this answer too!
Was wondering this
Egypt used to have people go around with shotguns to reduce the dog population. That they now have vaccine and sterilization programs is a massive improvement.
Imagine being a dog and all of a sudden you get woken up from your nap like “goddam it, Ahmed! I’ve been darted 5 times this week! At least add a microchip or shoot us with a paintball gun after!”
It's an older post but it checks out.
Curious, is there a risk of failure due to the method of admin? Does the vaccine only need to break through skin? Or does it need to enter muscle tissue? I’m only asking because I can’t really tell if the person is aiming for anywhere in particular on the dogs. I’m just not sure

From the dogs perspective, these guys have a fucked up hobby.
They should do this to people with the measles vaccine in the states
Crazy but kindly effective.
Just imagine doing this to people who were wandering around during COVID lockdown.
America needs some of these for the antivaxers
I wonder if the same technique could be used to assist with the measles outbreak in South Carolina.
We really should have done this with the Covid vaccine
Do the anti-vaxers next
This is a very wholesome change from their usual pyramid schemes
It sphinx in here now.
Nice now you have autistic dogs
/s
On an unrelated note, I just came up with a great way to solve the measles outbreaks happening in the U.S.
Thank goodness they’re helping the poor pups
There was a dog with a big festering wound in Panama once. My friend said it could be jungle rot which is fungal. I had an old tube of fungus cream in my bag and while it was sleeping I dropped some on the wound. The dog woke up, so pissed, betrayed, and licked it off while licked the wound some more.
It was perfect, it was actually rubbing it in and treating its mouth too. A few days later I saw the dog and the wound was completely dry and healing. So my response to the people saying this is mean, I will always risk a short betrayal for overall street dog health.
Anyone know the original source?
I want to donate to help them do it more.
Vaccination of animals doesn't just protect the individual animal...
It also reduces the chance of global disease - including variations that could infect humans. Stop letting these viruses reproduce and we decrease the chance of another pandemic.
It would be funny doing this to Republicans.
How do they know which ones they've already vaccinated? (Besides a blow dart hanging from the dog's thigh...)
A good method to apply vaccines to anti vaxxers.
Lawrence Fishburne cameo at the end there.
What about cats?
Nah efficacy is much higher with blowdarts, cats don't like holding the vaccine in their mouths and are harder to aim.
Thought the three dogs in row was a missed opportunity of some sort
I don’t understand how the plunger depresses
Google telinject dart
"Remember, buddy. Don't inhale."
So does the hypodermic needle just fall out later and become a sharps hazard on the sidewalk?
How about shooting a very small paintball in orage color to leave a paint mark on them for a week, to avoicd double vaccination?
Dart Goblin
This is the evo dart goblin
Watching the video before reading any of the text 😳😩
Aww the doggos seem nice, most of them are just chilling around
this is better than using net
I wonder if they could sterilize them like that too.
Chemically? Yeah. I bet you could. A long acting dose of a birth control could work for males but I'm not sure of the females.
Ok so how do you pull out the needle from the dog?
And how do they keep track of which dog is vaccinated?
Too bad they aren't taking the dogs somewhere they'll get adopted. Fed, fixed and friended.
I understand and admire these guys work but the dogs look so confused that I couldn't help but laugh a little. They be like "WTF YOUSEFF!?!?!?"
The temple dogs in Cairo and Gaza are my favorites! They are super chill and just hang around and bother nothing. Im so glad to see their government take care of them. Wish the US would do the same.
Great idea. Somebody should try that in my town, a lot of stray dogs everywhere
How do they keep track of the dogs they vaccinated?
at least give the homie a cut of beef after
