All cases of rabies-related incidents in pets and wild animals are preventive measures where the affected ones are vaccinated against rabies through the Anti Rabies Vaccine, especially when subjected to the humane and reasonable scenario of making unbroken skin contact with such animals that rabies could be transmitted from like cats, dogs, bats, etc. A hypothetical case would be: let us say that while running in your neighborhood, a stray dog nips and breaks the skin at your ankle. Doctors could still advise you to get the Anti Rabies Vaccine immediately even if the wound is tiny.
