He had just taken in a raccoon so the squirrel could have gotten it from that, and they don’t know if the owner had been lying about taking it outside.
This is all the owner’s fault for not taking the squirrel to a proper animal sanctuary.
If a animal is tested positive the human have to undergo about 2-4 vaccinations that might need to be repeated and will cost a great amount, or they die. The vaccination has a lot of side effects.
You cant test for rabies without euthanasing the animal.
“…to rule out rabies, the test must include a full cross-section of tissue from both the brain stem and cerebellum.” - https://www.cdc.gov/rabies/php/laboratories/diagnostic.html

Let me ask you this. If the animal is tested as rabid. What’s the next step for the bitten?

It doesn’t have any more potential side effects than any other vaccine. It’s not special in this regard.
So the euthanasia step is really not needed and just go straight to the vaccination part.
Sure, that makes sense for a country with socialized health care. You still shouldn’t keep wild animals as pets.
