If I have to go through Illinois do I need the permit to do so??
It says on the Illinois website...."All equine entering Illinois for any reason other than slaughter must be accompanied by a negative test for EIA conducted within a year if the animal is more than one year of age, certificate of veterinary inspection issued by an accredited veterinarian within 30 days of entry, and an entry permit number issued by the Illinois Department of Agriculture. NOTE: animals passing through Illinois and not being unloaded in the state are not required to obtain an entry permit or meet Illinois entry requirements. These animals are required to meet the entry requirements for the state of destination only."
I am not planning on unloading my horse in Ill. so technically I would not require one according to this but if I were to have a breakdown or an accident then I would HAVE to unload my horse and then I would need one?
The following information will be required for the entry permit number:
Name and mailing address of owner of the animal
Date of the EIA test
Location where the animal is going
Also says the above info is needed...I don't have an Ill. location as obviously I am going to Tulsa so I am just wondering what folks who have to travel through Illinois generally do in regard to this???
Thanks!
