I think that was the idea.

[@alm5966]

That advert used to be on Saturday morning TV before Grandstand would come on. It's used to make me feel sick and utterly terrified of Rabies and it's still shocking now.

[@artlover2246]

The cat seemingly healthy is intentional. Rabies cases are pretty hard to detect and once the symptoms appear on the animal, its already too late. That's why pet owners have to take their animals to the vet before bringing them into international travels. Its a really serious issue

[@Northstar54]

That's the sad part

[@davidjames579]

Well thank god its over now.

[@hotelmario510]

That is a very cute cat. I hope this great thespian lived a very long life.

[@dragonsamurai453productions]

It probably did After all, I'm pretty sure that during filming the directors made sure the cat used in the PSA was up to date on all of its vaccines and stuff, especially with its Rabies immunizations shots. If I had to guess it was a cat the actor of the woman carrying it in her bag owned herself or a cat one of the directors owned, idk. But I can agree, the cat is freaking adorable

[@littlesongbird1]

I am confused...was she taking the cat out of the country or trying to smuggle it in.

[@MegaMarie]

​@@littlesongbird1she was smuggling it in from a rabies infected country

It's okay, it might not had had rabies.

[@wormwoodpearl1]

"Could I have a word with you over here please madam? Only your bag is mewing and wriggling."

I think it's because she looks like a drug smuggler

[@johnnyfeen1347]

I remember an ad warning against rabies that we had in Ireland in the late 70's. A still image of a dog jumping from a boat onto a pier followed by that of some guy foaming at the mouth in a hospital bed and the slogan "Rabies kills....agonisingly!"

No 4 year olds where traumatised for life. More importantly no rabies made it to the UK, unlike Covid. Perhaps we should bring back education!!

[@rupert-j8f]

oh the uk whould put terrifying public information films like this on inbetween cartoons in the afternoon when kids were watching tv.

[@sptol]

Rabies Means Death was originally transmitted in 1982.This version was never broadcast as it was considered too harrowing at the time.This is very unnerving to watch and I remember the poster slogans "Don't Smuggle Death" and "Bringing it in is MADNESS" and seeing all the photos of Rabies victims on a board in the departure lounge at the airport with one child with some of his brain exposed where the flesh had rotted it was terrifying made me think twice of stroking any cats or dogs abroad

[@bobrew461]

It definitely was broadcast. I remember seeing it, and I ain't the only one!

Whichever way you look at, the sounds of screeching exhaust pipes in a metal factory will make you laugh inappropriately and scared. Someone used the gas-sounding audio clips on this PIF in a song funny enough. That was a public information film

[@_SomeRandomYoutuber_]

I saw this a good few years ago, and was fucking terrified of rabies.

[@dunebasher1971]

You could see PIFs at any time of day, but not often during prime-time. In the 70s and 80s Anglia TV rarely had many proper adverts in the morning, so they'd just fill the breaks with PIF after PIF. I think that's where my addiction to them came from.

[@Vieweracc99]

It's rare, but Rabies does occur naturally in wild populations (bats, etc.) Only 4 cases in the UK since 2000. Most incidents of Rabies are brought in from other areas - eg the case in 2012 of a woman who was bitten by a dog in Asia, and who then returned to the UK. The death in 2002 of a bat handler (the Scotland case) was wild Rabies - something we cannot control.

Very disturbing especially the flashes of a boy with rabies really horrible that. These public information films were usually shown just before the station for the night.

[@WickerAndroid]

If you want discussion and chat about similar distressing things on TV from the 70s and 80s with a humorous bent then listen to the Scarred For Life podcast and/or read their amazing books Scarred For Life Volumes 1 and 2.

[@Thewritingelf]

Thank you ❤️

[@stevenwall2317]

The podcast brought me here searching for this! As a child of the 70s I was regularly traumatised by PIFs being shown during daytime kids TV, or having someone from the council come into school and show us a horrific movie about building sites or whatever

[@alm5966]

bawoman Yes, because Rabies is just like having a cold.

[@barbaraannecortina7899]

Rabies was nothing LIKE having a fucking cold - it was a killer, fuckwit!

[@alm5966]

I was being sarcastic. Seriously, did you take from that comment I was actually comparing rabies to a cold? Maybe if you read more you wouldn't need to revert to profanity.

[@barbaraannecortina7899]

And maybe if YOU learnt more about Aspies (those with Asperger's Syndrome) like me, you wouldn't have made the comment that you did.

[@CeticWales]

In the early 1980's there was a BBC TV drama series about an outbreak of rabies in UK called 'The Mad Death'🤤

And a shocker it was, too

[@dragonsamurai453productions]

I came here because of an ARG, and I can tell you that the audio played when the boy dying from Rabies was shown was terrifying, and may I add ear piercingly LOUD sound (for me anyways since I'm sensitive to loud noises) But still, this PSA (stuff like this is called that here in America) definitely sent a message

0:31 The cat's like "HELP ME" 0:33 he's like "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE" 0:34 She's like "Oh No" this is definitely not okay for people to put their pets in their luggage and that would cause people to have rabies from this PSA.

[@adudefromtheukvideos]

Health and safety gone mad again - I caught rabies TWICE when I was a kid. Lucozade and a good rest and I was fighting fit in no time. Fact.

[@cius96]

Well... you were very lucky and got treated quickly, otherwise it's very likely you wouldn't have survived. Rabies is no joke, it's lethal 99.99% of the times. Health and safety has been going mad lately with the covid pandemic and all this psychological terrorism, lockdowns, mandatory masks and green pass, expecially in Italy... here the green pass has become an authentic political weapon that heavily limits people's freedom. Hell, one can't even go to the bank, the barber, the post or any pubblic space / office (except food shops) if they don't have a negative test. And even if you have a negative test, you STILL can't take long distance trains or busses, book a room in a hotel, go to the cinema, gym, local festivales (even if they're outside and there aren't many people), or just eat something at the restaurant / fast food or drink a coffee at the bar (EVEN if you stay outside)... only those who are vaccinated can do all those activities. EVEN NOW when every other country in Europe is going back to normal life. Many of those who faced all those restrictions and chose not to get vaxxed were continuously discriminated, isolated, mocked IRL and on social networks, rejected at hospitals / denied basic healthcare, seen as infected / plague spreaders and have even received "death-wishes" from some medical directors, journalists and tv personalities (according to some those who are against the vaccine should be confined in concentration camps or in jail). THAT'S actual madness, NOT the safety measures against rabies. Rabies kills almost always, while Covid is almost never deadly, unless you're very ond and/or already have serious diseases.

[@randomobserver8168]

That's the kind of complacency that sets in once you have a country, gifted with defensible geography, that actually succeeds in eradicating rabies on its soil. The measures that keep it that way start to seem overwrought. Granted, rabies is also a lot more treatable now, if you get it handled prophylactically after any bite by a suspicious animal. If you wait for symptoms, IIRC it might still be too late.

Rabies is rather rare, even in North America, most people who own a cat or dog have them vaccinated against rabies so it's unlikely that someone's pet would contract it and spread it around.

[@dragonsamurai453productions]

As a owner of a Tabby cat I can agree It's really common to see pets with Rabies vaccinations, plus, its really sad to see a cat or dog you love very much have to be put down because of a brutal disease like rabies.
