It's not impossible some government screwed up veterinary border checks at some point, but in all honesty unless someone finds direct proof I'm treating this as grade A bullsh*t.

(And if it got screwed up, I'd say it's much more likely to have been an accidental result of misguided austerity measures like DOGE.)
