Countries with oceans around them will defend even small islands to the death. This is because the loss of such an island would reduce the size of their territory. It would be the same in the UK.

Japan is no different, with no rabies outbreaks in nearly 50 years, widespread use of vaccines, and strict immigration controls regarding pets.
Rabies kills a significant percentage of those bitten.Also, once it spreads, it takes a very long time to suppress.
