| Pet owners in Taiwan were rushing to inoculate their animals on Wednesday after the first case of rabies in a shrew was confirmed, fuelling fears that an outbreak of the disease is spreading between species. Health authorities on the island have been battling to contain a rabies outbreak among so-called ferret-badgers, with at least 18 cases among the weasel-like animals confirmed so far. On Wednesday officials confirmed the disease had spread to a shrew, fuelling fears that it could mutate further to affect domestic pets -- greatly increasing the risk to humans. In an area of Kaohsiung, the biggest city in the island's south, more than 500 people took their pets to be vaccinated -- though only 380 doses were available, according to the Taipei-based China Times. The newspaper also reported that a group of villagers found two masked palm civets -- small, nocturnal carnivores related to the mongoose -- and beat them to death on Tuesday. In northern Keelung city, police said they had received nearly 100 phone calls from residents following the discovery of a dead ferret-badger. Yen Shen-horng, a biology professor at Sun Yat-sen University in Kaohsiung, said there was "no need to panic" -- but added it was the first known instance of a shrew contracting rabies and indicated that the virus may have mutated. The infected shrew was caught in a home in Taitung county on July 25. Chang Shu-hsien, the chief for the Bureau of Animal and Plant Health Inspection and Quarantine, told reporters that the shrew could have been bitten by an infected ferret-badger. Taiwan is now listed as a rabies-affected area by the Paris-headquartered World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) after the island confirmed its first outbreak since 1959 on July 17. The Taipei city government has set up a contingent unit tasked with monitoring rabies outbreaks, with plans to purchase more than 50,000 doses of vaccines before the end of August. Only 10 countries and regions in the world are listed as rabies-free. Some 55,000 people die of the disease worldwide every year. Symptoms in humans include seizures, partial paralysis, fever and brain inflammation, or encephalitis. There is no known treatment to cure rabies once the infection has taken hold. |

Phony rum kills seven in Cuba, dozens hospitalized - An1malPet5
| Seven Cubans have died and more than 40 have been hospitalized, eight in critical condition, after drinking wood alcohol, or industrial methanol, they thought was rum, the public health ministry said on Wednesday. The poisoning happened in the La Lisa municipality of Havana, beginning on Monday, and all those killed were in their 40s and 50s, according to a list provided by the ministry. Such incidents are rare, though not unheard of in Cuba. "Those affected consumed wood alcohol sold illegally ... that was supplied by two individuals who work in the Pharmacy and Food Institute and took it from the local warehouse," the ministry said in a statement. "Wood alcohol is extremely toxic and causes headaches, nausea, blindness and death," the ministry said, urging residents to seek medical attention if they suffer from any symptoms. Also known as methanol or methyl alcohol, wood alcohol is commonly used as a solvent in medical laboratories and as a fuel or anti-freeze. |

Content Locker Share Link to Unlock Website (Miscellaneous) - An1malPet5
Live Preview Configuration use demo as the login password for the demo account. (Your copy won't have a demo account.) What does it do? This script blocks the content of your website making it accessible only after the user shares a link with his/her friends. How? This script converts your webpage into an image and removes all html and content, replacing it by the captured canvas. After that, the user is presented with a simple modal window stating that in order to unlock the content he/she will have to share the link provided. As soon as the configurable amount of humans see that users link, the script will set a cookie on to that persons computer enabling them to browse the website for a configurable amount of days before being prompted to share the link again. Why should you use this instead of others This script blocks both medium and basic browser users as it removes the existing html completely so it's actually difficult to bypass the locker. The script possesses both Bypass and Opt-out features, that means that is both user friendly and extendable. It also works with any kind of website, all you have to do is include one html line.
