Tasty vaccine treats in feeders. They'll possibly make your pet sick. If you know any people who take care of any feral cats near the park please warn them?

“It’s like putting a pill inside some peanut butter for your dog,” said the Agriculture Department’s Carol Bannerman. The vaccines are coated in a “very smelly, fishy-scented material”
made of vegetable fat, icing sugar, and marshmallow flavoring, she said.
The laboratory-produced lucky charms are safe for pets to eat, but
too many might cause vomiting, researchers said. The vaccine can cause a
rash in humans, but only if it gets into an open wound, Bannerman said."
