You really shouldn't try to fly with dogs anyway. They're more walking-type animals. They can jump, but you're not going to get from New York to Paris that way.

That's not flying, it's falling in style!
The pioneers used to ride these puppies for miles
The problem is for people entering USA by cars, millions of canadians per year! A lot with their dogs, going camping and all. I go in the state maybe once or twice per month, I will need to fill a CDC report every time? It does not make sense.
dog might have to pass a blood test or be forced to quarantine for 28 days in a CDC-registered facility, the costs of which fall back on owners
That's pretty bullshit. If they force it and the person can't afford it, are they just going to steal the dog? If they want this to be effective at actually reducing disease, it should be provided at no cost. Even if it were free, the possibility of having your pet forced into quarantine while traveling is already a deterrent to flying with pets. Forcing the cost benefits literally no one.
You think the CDC can afford to eat that cost? Who do you think they are, part of the military? They don't have the budget for that.
I hate to break it to you, but a lot of other countries already have policies like this for public health and environmental reasons, and the cost and quarantine arrangements always fall on the owner.
They probably either keep it in quarantine and then send it to the pound or put the dog down, unfortunately, if the owner isn't able to prove that the dog is healthy enough to enter the country. Unless they decide to cancel the trip and go back where they came from.
Just because something is common, doesn't mean it's right. Of all the countries in the world, the richest one can certainly afford to provide it without cost.
Why do you feel entitled to not have to pay for your dog's quarantine? You own the dog and are responsible for its care and health, and if you're traveling or immigrating you should have money to spare simply because those actions require considerable savings.
Do you also feel like your passport and birth certificate should be free?
Yes, and yes. What the hell is the point of government if it doesn't provide social benefits?
To redistribute your tax money into the hands of a few wealthy peoples.
We don't have unlimited resources, and that's frankly not a good use of them. I'm not saying there aren't other worse things we spend money on, but I don't think this would be a good use of our resources.
Even if it were free, the possibility of having your pet forced into quarantine while traveling is already a deterrent to flying with pets.
Yes. Let's just ignore that pets can have or carry different diseases, even zoonotic ones.
I think you misunderstood me. I'm saying that people will try to justify the cost as a deterrent, and I already see the deterrent in the disease prevention process so the cost serves no purpose.
Seriously, this is America. At least give them a Panera gift card
They'd just give the dog to the police so they can practice their dog shooting skills.
No, it just means you cannot fly the dog into the US from abroad. This is to stop rabies and other zoonotic diseases from entering the US after we finally achieved a rabies-free population of dogs, an incredible battle.
You do not want to fuck with rabies, as this incredibly disturbing video shows of a man getting hunted by a rabid raccoon: https://youtu.be/4rR2eH4PlgU
Vicious and insanely lethal disease.
Lol, don't fall for the propaganda. The US is not rabies free and is listed by many other nations as a high risk country. Many places in the world are rabies free. And many more have it only in rare occurances. The US is a standout for how poorly it has dealt with rabies.
This is in direct retaliation for other countries imposing the same standards to actually prevent rabies from the US entering their country especially as so many Americans fake illness and fly with their dogs everywhere.
