Update 2 - Police complaint

We have talked to our own vet and he encouraged us to fight against the demand for quarantine. First we will file a police complaint against the trespassing. Obviously we need that in order to free ourselves from the liability. I guess that it is not necessary to say that this woman will regret that she ever took this thing further...

Quarantining vaccinated dogs is a debated subject in this country. Studies have shown that no animal who received one rabies vaccination and a booster a year later and who was current on his or her vaccinations contracted rabies, even when bitten by a rabid animal. Additionally, to quarantine vaccinated animals encourages irresponsibility among dog owners, who see no point in getting their animals vaccinated if they will be quarantined irrespectively.
