It's an awful lot of wilderness you're talking about. Over 3,000 miles (5061 kilometers). And that's just the Canadian/US border, not the wilderness along it.

They do try to remove the animals they find who are sick with rabies, but that's hard when you don't always know where they are. Many of these animals are in areas where people rarely if ever go. That's why it's so hard to control it and why we can't eridicate rabies in the US.

Europe has the same type situation.
