Persian lambs stalled in Canada and Europe saga
Three Persians M Kk Maljanaia MG Va and John Abajian of Providence Rhode Island have spent ten thousand dollars trying to import Persian lambs to the Western Hemisphere. Sheep landed in Montreal were refused entry due to foot and mouth disease, leaving only two live lambs as ballast. The voyage included the Wuckesian mountains and Hamburg, with delays over landing in Canada and Ottawa authorities forbidding import, while London via cable and Dutch routes were explored. Each lamb valued at about ninety dollars, but most would be slaughtered after a day or two for their hides as the effort stalls.
