During my tour my wife and 1 have picked up two pets French lop eared Rabbit and a King Python. We have become very attached to both Pels and would like to Lake them both to the states. I have recently been told thai the military will ship Only cats and dogs. If this is so. Then i would like to know the reason Why. I would think it would be cheaper to ship my 5-Pound Rabbit and my 3-Pound Snake than to ship one 50 to 100-Pound dog. I though at first in May be because of possible ill Nesses that animals other than dogs and cats might have but if the animal has a clean Bill of health from a qualified vet what docs it matter spec.
