“Yearly Vaccination Required for Hunting Dogs and Microchipping Essential for Ferrets – Diario de Navarra”

Los hunting dogs They must be vaccinated every year, in accordance with the Law for the Protection of Companion Animals in Navarra, which will continue as it has been until now after the plenary session of Parliament rejected a proposal to modify Navarra Suma. His approach contemplated respect for the guidelines of the State Agency for Medicines and Health Products, as his spokesperson pointed out, Miguel Bujanda.

“The treatments and vaccinations of the animals, as well as the obligatory health examinations and their periodicity, will be established by regulation in accordance with the provisions of the technical specifications of the vaccines in question, for promotion and revaccination. In the case of dogs and cats, whose anti-rabies vaccination is mandatory, a veterinary visit prior to vaccination is mandatory with a health check that will be documented with the stamp of the vaccine in the animal’s passport and a report on the status general”.

In other words, the State Agency for Medications and Health Products determines a vaccination period of three years, Bujanda said. The consequences will redound economically in the pockets of hunters and ranchers, he added. “If a hunter has 6 or 7 dogs and each vaccine costs 60 euros, the cost of vaccines can be very high, tripling,” she gave as an example.

Over the ferrets, referred parliamentarians to the example of La Rioja, the Basque Country or Aragon where identifications are voluntary. “A ferret that has 30 or 40 bugs, as they say in the Ribera, can get 100 euros for each of them, if he has to pay for the chip, vaccine, passport and have the documentation in order.”

His conclusions about the sanitary requirements, is that species such as wild boar or rabbit will grow with negative economic consequences in crops and infrastructures.

Javier Lecumberrifrom the PSN, responded with the need to abide by the guidelines established by the health authorities “and not only the laboratories”, and recalled that the Department of Rural Development has offered hunters with ferrets the possibility of subsidizing part of the identification chip that “costs once in a lifetime between 30 and 50 euros”.

Pablo Azcona (Geroa Bai) was significant on one issue: “We don’t know how many ferrets there are in Navarra.” Hence the convenience of identifying them, as he specified.

Arantxa Izurdiaga (EH Bildu) encouraged participation in the Consultation Committee on Animal Protection and Ainhoa ​​Aznárez (Podemos) coincided with the advisability of waiting for the approval of the state Law on Animal Welfare due to the possible effects on the Navarrese regulations. Marisa De Simon (Izquierda-Ezkerra) disagrees with Navarra Suma’s approach to “exempt dogs from anti-rabies vaccination guidelines and ferrets from identification. That puts the rural world at risk.”
