Would you rather be bitten by a shark or a dog with rabies?

just to let you know, if your question is remotely serious... sharks can't ever have rabies. rabies is only a problem with warm-blooded animals. with sharks, it's their TEETH ya have to watch out for!

A dog with rabies so I can pet him as I'm mauled to death.Sharks and the ocean are 2 scary 4 me
Cujo? Oh, Cujo, darling.... 🐶
Won't one bitten by a dog with rabbies die? I would go for a shark bike and let it be only my small toe it's going to catch.
There is an effective vaccine for post exposure to rabid animal-bites, but I think it is time-sensitive.
if you do nothing more than put a band-aid on rabid dog bite... yep, you're gonna die. oh, ya don't even have to be bitten to get rabies. if a mammal has rabies and scratches or even licks you, you'll eventually die without treatment. i think the treatment used to be a series of painful shot directly into your stomach. and the size of the dog isn't a factor. it doesn't have to be 150 lb Cujo. a mini-something would kill ya just as dead. and it doesnt have to be a dog... any mammal will do.
P.S. ........ yes! Bats are a common rabies carrier/transmitter.
I believe there has been improvement there.
My daughter was bitten by a semi-feral "village dog" in Thailand and took the vaccine on a "just in case" basis and I don't recall for sure, but I don't think it was that old '12 shots into the stomach' routine.

I didn't know that, but now that I think about it, I've never heard of rabies in other types of animals.
please don't take this personally, but i was afraid there were some here who didn't know that rabies is strictly a mammal thing. i don't know why some mammals seem to be troubled by it more than others. you hear of rabid skunks/raccoons/foxes but not rabid deer/bear/elephants. i imagine a human could infect another human once they're infected.
MOVIES!
movies??MOVIES!
I haven't seen any of them, but I've seen some of the trailers of some of the really 'imaginative' horror movies & seems like there were some flying rabid sharks somewhere.
