"and fills my bed with rabies and fleas."

The only animals still carrying rabies in the UK are bats.

I bet that will never change…

Change is the only constant...

Well then, I guess that day could be today!

Not that different from cats whom their owners allow to roam.

We don't know, perhaps she vaccinates and washes that fox.

We do know, read the damn thing

I've read it and saw that apparently while she doesn't do that to the fox itself, she's qualified in working with wild animals and knows what to do if bitten, and also sanitizes everything after those, eh, visits.

No word of vaccination, though.

As another commenter noted, no rabies in the UK. Still not a great idea
