Under new legislation, “cats and dogs from Portugal can now enter countries like Nigeria, Angola, Colombia, Peru, Jordan, Libya, Ukraine, South Korea and the Philippines” while China, for the time being, is “only allowed mice”.

A spokesman for the ministry of sea and agriculture is quoted as telling the newspaper, “this is a world”.
