I agree that the animal welfare impacts of this intervention are really important to consider! I touched on them in section 2 but I unfortunately didn’t have the capacity to look into the human health and animal welfare aspect of this intervention.
I also raise the issue of using egg-/​meat-based baits but I honestly have no idea how their use weighs against potentially saving lots of dog lives due to vaccinating them against rabies. Interesting to hear about peanut butter potentially working well! I haven’t come across this in any of the papers I’ve read and I’d be really curious to see how peanut butter baits would work in comparison to egg or intenstine baits in terms of acceptance and vaccine release.
