IMRAB is a rabies vaccination that helps pets and livestock with immunity to the rabies virus. Rabies is a virus that targets the central nervous system and different species of animals are particularly vulnerable to this virus. Rabies is a dangerous virus because any mammal can contract any strain; for example, a skunk can contract raccoon rabies. There are currently no approved rabies vaccines for wildlife (feral, non-domestic) although in some cases, animals are vaccinated in what is considered an off-label use.

Although the IMRAB vaccine has been used for scientific data, such as a trap-vaccinate-release program, it is impractical on large scale animal populations. The preferred method of addressing rabies in wildlife is to place an oral vaccine in bait that is left out for animals, although that strategy, too, has its limitations.

For pets, the IMRAB vaccine has been in use for over 30 years. It is approved for use in dogs, cats, ferrets, horses, cattle, and sheep. According to the manufacturer, it is descended from the world’s first rabies vaccine from Institute Pasteur-Mérieux.

In 1999, there was a proposed amendment to the Virus-Serum-Toxin Act that would broaden the definition of dog to include members of the species Canis familiaris or Canis lupus or any wolf-dog hybrid. In 2001, in response to public pressure, the proposal was withdrawn. The main concerns were that there were not adequate studies about the safety of the vaccine for wolves and wolf-dog crosses, and that the change would endorse the false idea that wolves and wolf-dog crosses are safe as pets.

Pets Are Wonderful Council (PAW) is an organization that supports animals based in Chicago, Illinois. In the 1980s, PAW advocated nationwide for the welfare and ownership of sheltered pets. Actress and long-time animal activist, Betty White supported PAW as national honorary chairperson for the organization. In 1985, White starred in a PAW commercial in which she promoted pet adoption from shelters. In the same year, PAW sponsored a pet contest to encourage people to adopt sheltered pets with the goal of placing 75,000 cats and dogs in adoptive homes. In 1986, PAW, in collaboration with White, issued a book titled The Pets Are Wonderful Photo Album.

The Anheuser-Busch Brewing Company created Budweiser beer in 1876 in St. Louis, Missouri. The company was founded by Adolphus Busch and his father-in-law, Eberhard Anheuser. Anheuser-Busch decided to make a light lager beer using pasteurization originating from the Czech Republic, which improved shelf life and transportability. The Budweiser pale lager was the first to use this method in the U.S. and grew to become one of the highest selling beers in the United States. It is available in over 80 markets worldwide. Budweiser is most commonly recognized by promotional Clydesdale horses, which made their first appearance in 1993 and were employed to represent the living embodiment of America’s great industrial spirit.

The Arlington Million is a thoroughbred horse race founded in 1981 with the first million-dollar winners’ purse. The race has most often been held at Arlington Park in Arlington Heights, Illinois, with a few exceptions for renovation and repair. The race is part of the Breeders’ Cup Challenge and qualifies the winner for the Longines Breeders' Cup Turf, both of which contribute to a horse’s pedigree and value. Since 1981, the race has changed names several times including the Budweiser Million Stakes from 1982-1984 and the Budweiser-Arlington Million from 1985-1987.

Perrault, a British-bred 5-year old thoroughbred stallion, won the Budweiser Million Stakes in 1982. He began competing in the United States in 1982 and was considered for Horse of the Year. In the same year, Perrault injured a tendon and was retired to stud duty. He won the Eclipse Award for Outstanding Male Turf Horse in 1982 and earned $1,494,550 during his career.
