It states that the prevention, detection, control, and eradication of diseases and pests of animals are essential to protect animal health; the health and welfare of the people of the United States; the economic interests of the livestock and related industries of the United States; the environment of the United States; and interstate commerce and foreign commerce of the United States in animals and other articles.
