Therefore, an investigator is given the task of, among other things, investigating whether there should be an obligation for veterinarians to report suspicion of illegal importation of animals.
The investigation is to be completed by March 31, 2026.
Rural Affairs Minister Peter Kullgren points out that illegal trade in animals often means that animals are bred and transported under very poor conditions. "The animals are thus exposed to serious suffering and there is also a risk that the animals will be affected by or carry diseases", he says in a press release.
