immigrating with pets help?

[two-camel-one-black]

in a year i will immigrate to either US or EU, and i have a pet bunny whom i love dearly. The problem is i live in Palestinian Territories, Occupied, and to travel to US or EU, i would first have to go to the Allenby bridge in jordan.

Going to the Allenby bridge in jordan is a very long process; it involves riding a cab for an hour with all of your luggage with you, then going through checks and “resting” for an hour in Jerico, Palestinian Territories, then going to a bus with several other people in it to arrive to Israeli Territories, which include more checks and more talking, then walking through metal detectors, gathering your luggage with has been thrown out on the ground, filling out papers, waiting for hours for some random $*&! etc,, then going through another bus to finally arrive in Jordan. 

All of the three stops (Palestinian, Israeli, and Jordan territories) PROHIBIT bringing harmless pets with you. 

There is no airport here; this is the only way for me to reach Jordan. Once i reach Jordan, there is an airport and i could easily go by plane to the US or EU, and i could bring my pet with me. 

What should i do with my baby pet??

oh and by the way, dont tell me to send my bunny to an adoption center because there are no adoption centers here. I bought my pet from a breeder. Also, there is only one vet here.

thanks a lot for reading this i know it is long.

please help

Then only thing that comes to mind is to find an animal or humanitarian association that bridges goods to and fro Jordan or the country of your choice for expat (for example, if you have friends/relatives there, to arrange the bun to be delivered there). Still, it’s very risky to stress a rabbit in such way, so I don’t know if that would be an option (if available at all). Is there a Jordan embassy or other government offices where you could ask for advice or for a special permit?
If it ends up not being possible, the best option is to rehome the bun with someone else or even back to the original breeder if they’re willing. It would be a hard option, but you gotta take your shot at a better life somewhere else I really hope everything may be solved in the best way possible for the both of you

I am really sorry that you find yourself in such a difficult situation. I can’t think of anything that might help you, but my heart goes out to you and your beloved bunny.

Crazy idea, but is there any way you could convince or bribe someone to sneak your bun into Jordan via a Red Cross or military or UN or relief organization truck?

What a difficult challenge. I’m so sorry. Since you have some time, if you find no way to bring your bunny safely and no one else can help bring your bunny over, then I would begin searching for a loving home you trust. At least then you have some peace of mind that he may be in good hands. It may take time and patience, but you could talk to the breeder and vet and see if they may know a someone who would want to care and love your bunny. They could start at least thinking about it and then if someone comes up they can contact you.

Again, I am so sorry. How hard this must be for you.

Oh dear. Yes, what a conundrum. Does this include cats and dogs too…? What do other people do?
Yes, as BB says – as you have time you may have to find someone would could take him.
You don’t mention how old your bun is or how long you’ve had him ?

If you really try hard to home your bun and you can’t, then you have nothing to lose but try and smuggle and take him with you….

I have a 6kg rabbit, so this would be hard, but if yours is a small bun….

So you can fly a bun from Jordan to the US? In the cabin with you?

[Muchelle]

I wouldn’t really attempt the smuggle route through an occupied zone with a pet that can become an excellent dinner… also breaking the rules could jeopardize the chances to safely get to Jordan and out of there if any law man finds out. I’d def try getting in contacts with the authorities beforehand and with humanitarian groups before giving up all hope!

Thank you for your reply

if i dont find someone who’s willing to take care of my bunny, should i just give him back to the breeder?

thanks for the reply. yes it includes cats and dogs too. Ive had my bunny since May. And yes i can fly any pet from Jordan to the US as long as it is not a rodent. Here are the conditions:

Pets will be treated as excess baggage and cannot be included in the checked baggage allowance. The following conditions must be met before acceptance on the flight.
