I'm wide awake and I would have more chance to fend off a dog by running inside than a rat, have you been chased by a rat? Have you noticed the open air restaurants and housing we have here in Bali? How does a gate or a fence keep out a rat? Pretty hard to fend off as something so small, fast and fearless, that can get in all small places, so you can watch out for those little kiddies when the rats start taking over and running up your legs in a restaurant.
If someone is bitten there is a vaccine so no-one's dying today. The 30 deaths so far have been locals that have not received the free vaccines, this is a lack of education, not a problem with the dogs.
