Sure, most of us love dogs and certainly none of us would wish them any harm but whatever happened to our strict rabies laws of yesteryear?
Do we still have minimum six weeks quarantine in this country?
"Stray dogs from abroad are likely to have unknown health histories and could harbour undetected and potentially life-threatening exotic diseases not traditionally seen in the UK, says the BVA.
Threats such as leishmaniasis, rabies, canine babesiosis and heartworm could be present without showing any outward clinical symptoms, it adds.
Such chronically infected ‘Trojan’, or carrier, dogs could then pass on the infections to susceptible pets and, in the case of some diseases, to humans as well.
The BVA’s survey shows that 40 per cent of vets have seen new or rare conditions in their practice over the last year that are associated with imported dogs, most commonly the potentially fatal disease leishmaniasis."

This goes back to the days of Labour. They wanted to clampdown on Rabies but unfortunately they spelt Rabies wrong.

Having read up on this, this sounds a serious issue. If they can be hidden carriers of very nasty things that could then be passed into the environment, other dogs, or onto humans this is something that should be dealt with. I'm a dog lover but we shouldn't be naively bringing in those we feel sorry for who will then harm or kill the locals already here.
Bit of a Merkel immigration policy that. (He says to wind up those who get wound up by bringing up such politics ) |
