Further to previous posting about Bali (Bali, Alert for Rabies) , Ministry of Agriculture, Department of Agriculture Republic of Indonesia has announced new Decree no 1637/2008, that Bali is on the status of Rabies Outbreak. Although this status was iniated within the Area of Badung, since no border limit inside Bali island, then the whole Bali is now on the same status.
The local Authority has also announced that since December 1, 2008, then Bali island is as a Quarantine Island for rabies carrier animals such as dog, cat, monkey etc, including family dog and cat are prohibitted to enter or exit Bali island.
This status is expected to be evaluated within next 3 months.
No dog or cat to enter Bali at this time, also no dog and cat to be permitted for exit from Bali island.

Bali, Alert For Rabies
Getting more difficult for expatriate to bring their dogs and cats into Bali.
As we might know that Bali is an island with historically Rabies Free, so our government want to keep Bali as Rabies Free by limiting dogs and cats going into Bali only from Rabies Free Countries (such as Australia, UK, Singapore, Hong Kong etc) or from Rabies Free area within Indonesia (such as East Java, Central Java, etc). All dogs and cats must get Permit(Recommendation Letter) from Dinas Peternakan in Bali as the receiver authority area prior entry to Bali.
Recently we have heard from the local news. Peoples in Bali were afraid of Rabies that has been suspected caused 3 peoples died. Besides those peoples who died the suspected Rabies Dog/s has attacked several peoples in Bali as reported by Detik.com.
Few months ago Chief Quarantine officer has said that Bali is on alert for having Rabies outbreak risk, due to the population of street dogs and cats in there.
From now on probably will be more difficult to bring dogs or cats to Bali.
As we are all knew that Expatriates mostly have dogs and cats that become part of their family, where the people move the pets would follow. There are many peoples who want to bring family pets to Bali because they will have new job or new live in Bali.
Are they still able to bring their pets into Bali ?
