Why didnt they help the poor indian in the clip?
No cure/vaccine at the time?
On my Grandmother's side of the family we had a family member that contracted rabies and it was horrible. They ultimately tied him to a stake in the yard where he went insane and finally died from the infection. It was many, many years ago and she said it was horrible watching what happened to him.
No cure and you cannot treat a family member like a rabid dog and shoot them, so they did what they could. This was well over 90 years ago and she told me about it about 50 years ago when I was a kid. I have no clue if she was just telling me this to scare me into staying away from odd acting animals or not but she never said the story was not true. *SHUDDER*.
