In order to read comments submitted, please go to http://www.regulations.gov/#!home Click Read Comments type in the search box Animal Welfare: Importation of Live Dogs It will open up on the page of comments. There are over 150 so far, but many pages are from before the rules were released this week. Just a scan of the comments makes it very clear that people are concerned that they won't be able to import dogs for their kennel or breeding program. The other concern is that is doesn't make clear that mass importation of "rescue" dogs are covered by the rules.
