Tóm tắt
In Vietnam, farming dogs for meat is not illegal but is increasingly marginalized as dog meat consumption comes
under heightened social scrutiny. This loosely regulated practice likely increases the risk of rabies transmission
to humans. At a time when human-wildlife conflict has become a major discussion point for global health, stray
dogs escaping or being deliberately released from dog farms is a cause for serious concern. The first half of 2024
saw a significant spike in the incidence of human rabies cases, occurring in not just rural hot spots but also
urban conurbations. Bites from rabid feral dogs are the primary source of infection, the distribution of which
often clusters in the vicinity of battery farms or slaughterhouses that have recently downscaled or closed their
business. Addressing this risk requires pursuing a One Health strategy that focuses on catching and euthanizing
rabid dogs, vaccinating healthy dogs, implementing safety measures during dog slaughtering, and regulating dog
meat trade. By robust enforcement of this comprehensive plan, it is hoped to prevent rabies outbreaks and protect
public health. Hanoi is already taking the lead in introducing measures to avert a rabies crisis in the Vietnamese
capital.
