💨 Abstract

Taiwan's Ministry of Agriculture plans to ban the ownership and importation of 955 animal species, including raccoons and alligator snapping turtles, to address public safety and animal welfare concerns. The Department of Animal Welfare discussed amendments that prioritize species not included in the Schedule of Protected Species, animals regulated in other countries but without formal import records, and species considered dangerous.
