"prohibited the importation of African rodents "
---

I didn't see this one. This makes sense, but considering that prairie dogs got the disease from an imported rat, I don't see why they would ban them, although prairie dogs indeed can spread disease, but so can rabbits.

While I wouldn't want to own a prairie dog, but I think banning prairie dogs as a result of an illness brought here by an imported pet doesn't make any sense. How do we know that some rabbits which were at the same store at the same time didn't catch it, or how about any cats and dogs they had?

Euthanize all of the animals that were in the store, at the same time.

Maybe they're trying to prevent the next catastrophe: Pet prairie dogs spreading plague.

This is just the beginning.
I bet that there will be additional critters stopped at the borders and not on the market.Yeah, I'm for freedom, less government,less taxes and all that , but THE CONSTITUTION IS NOT A SUICIDE PACT!
