Section 10406 of the Animal Health Protection Act ( 7 U.S.C. 8305 ) is amended— by striking The Secretary may prohibit and inserting the following: The Secretary may prohibit ; and by adding at the end the following: No person shall move in interstate commerce livestock that are unfit to travel. For purposes of paragraph (1), the term unfit to travel means, with respect to the movement of livestock, that such livestock are deemed unfit to travel pursuant to Article 7.3.7(3), Chapter 7.3 of the World Organisation for Animal Health’s Terrestrial Animal Health Code, including successive changes.
Such term includes livestock that— are sick, injured, weak, disabled, or fatigued; are unable to stand unaided or bear weight on each leg; are blind in both eyes; cannot be moved without causing additional suffering; are newborn with a navel that has not been fully healed; are pregnant and that would be in the final 10 percent of their gestation period at the planned time of unloading; have given birth within the previous 48 hours and are traveling without their offspring; or have a body condition that would result in poor welfare because of the expected climatic conditions.
Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to limit the movement in interstate commerce of any livestock for purposes of providing veterinary care to such livestock. .
