Not that I'm aware of.

It's because we are an island nation that we can pull up the drawbridge, so to speak, and keep rabies out. IIRC the last case of rabies in the UK was back in 1968.

Ahh...even further back...I think I was thinking of an animal cull for suspected rabies in the '60s.

In the UK the last human death from indigenous classical rabies occurred in 1902, and the last case of indigenous terrestrial animal rabies was in 1922. Most cases of rabies in the UK now occur in quarantined animals, or in people infected abroad. Since 1946 there have been 22 deaths in people infected with rabies abroad.
