CDC to block imports of dogs from Egypt, citing rabies concerns.
The Centers for Disease Control will announce Friday a temporary ban on dogs imported to the U.S. from Egypt, citing multiple instances of dogs that contracted rabies in Egypt being brought to the U.S. in recent years.
"Importers aim to get around these regulations, because customers demand puppies as young as 8-weeks. Profits decline by the thousands with each month a puppy ages. The puppy-loving public creating the demand is part of the problem." The most recent recorded incident was in February of this year, according to CDC, when 26 dogs imported from Egypt were adopted or placed in foster homes through a rescue in the Kansas City area. One of the dogs bit a vet technician and tested positive for rabies.
