Withdrawal of recognised dog import agent with immediate effect
The Department of Agriculture hereby notifies the public of the permanent withdrawal of Animal On the Move as a dog import agent after confirming the use of fraudulent import permits, in contravention of the Animal Improvement Act, 1998 (Act No. 62 of 1998).
The public and industry stakeholders are urged to engage only authorised agents, as the department enforces a zero-tolerance stance on fraud to safeguard the integrity and traceability of South Africa’s canine population.
