Allow home quarantine for pets coming into the UK with Ukrainian refugees.
Despite the 'emergency support' offered, the UK has refused to waive its strict entry and quarantine policies for companion animals of Ukrainian refugees. Please introduce a home quarantine policy to allow Ukrainian refugees to enter the UK without being separated from their companion animals.
Pets who do not meet entry requirements are subject in most cases to a grueling four-month quarantine procedure wherein they are held in a rabies facility and cannot be visited by owners. In many rabies-free EU countries, home quarantine procedures are being adopted to ensure refugees are not cruelly separated from their pets.
UK home quarantine requirements could emulate Ireland's: https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/21d40-pet-travel/#special-arrangements-for-ukraine-and-eu-citizens-in-russia
