- Summary:
- The United States legally imported more than 1 billion live animals from 2005 through 2008. With increased trade and travel, zoonotic diseases and animal diseases can emerge anywhere and spread rapidly. The importation of live animals is governed by five principal statutes and implemented by four agencies. GAO was asked to examine potential gaps in the statutory and regulatory framework governing live animal imports, if any, that may allow the introduction and spread of zoonotic and animal diseases and the extent to which the agencies collaborate to meet their responsibilities, and face barriers, if any, to collaboration.
