Well, you know I love Schopenhauer, so here are a couple of his thoughts:
“Boredom is certainly not an evil to be taken lightly: it will ultimately etch lines of true despair onto a face. It makes beings with as little love for each other as humans, nonetheless seek each other with such intensity, and in this way becomes the source of sociability.”
and
“Sociability belongs to the most dangerous, even destructive inclinations, since it brings us into contact with beings the great majority of whom are morally bad and intellectually dull or perverted.”
If you have no regard for your intellect or character, go ahead and do the morally reprehensible thing.
After that quote and the "If you have no regard for your intellect or character," part, I thought you were going to add "go ahead, and mingle". Which would constitute THE perfect Schopenhauer quote.
Regarding Schopenhauer and boredom, I prefer this one:
“What keeps all living things busy and in motion is the striving to exist. But when existence is secured, they do not know what to do: that is why the second thing that sets them in motion is a striving to get rid of the burden of existence, not to feel it any longer, 'to kill time', i.e. to escape boredom.”
So why not just kill the rabies by killing the dog

I still do not trust your purportedly "moral" scruple: if it is a sort of moral equivalent to the one that pretends that homosexuality is an evil thing, you can go for it all the way to the hilt.
