For decades, Hawaii had some of the strictest animal quarantine rules in place, in an effort to keep the islands rabies-free. However, the rules are relaxing with restrictions being front-loaded avoiding months of quarantine. 

The Conversation's Catherine Cruz talked with Dr. Raquel Wong, the State Veterinarian, about the proposed changes.
