Oh man Kelley, I would absolutely not take his word for that. That doesn't even make any sense, not that laws have to make sense. I would find where in writing it mandates, or stipulates that an animal, even in dire medical condition, must be subjected to rabies inoculations. You could start by calling the office that dispenses pet licenses in your area. If by some ridiculous chance that's true, the law should be changed. Maybe you could pass the info on to a local animal rights group to spearhead the effort.
