Rabies could come back to UK

If you’ve ever had to take a pet abroad, you will know the amount of effort which has to go into planning your trip in order to satisfy quarantine requirements. Since pet passports were introduced along with microchipping, travel within the EU is much simpler as long as you still plan ahead to a certain extent and have your pet tested between 3-24 months before traveling. However, those rules could be relaxed even further, a move which could open the door to rabies returning to the UK.

The problem is that the EU claims that rabies, ticks and tapeworms are problems seen in such low numbers within the EU that the necessity of having your pet tested is redundant and simply makes it harder to travel with animals. However, research from the World Institute for Animal Health suggests that these problems might be being under reported and that even if they aren’t, the numbers of cases in some areas of the EU are still too high to make the possibility of infection low enough to relax the rules.

I think the important thing here is that the authorities are trying to strike a balance between freedom of movement and disease prevention, but this story does give off warning signals that maybe things could get worse before they get better.
