A German region lifts an animal transport ban imposed after foot-and-mouth disease was detected
A ban on transporting cattle, pigs, sheep, goats and other animals such as camels and llamas in Brandenburg state, a large rural region that surrounds Berlin, went into effect on Saturday. The German capital's two zoos also closed as a precaution. An annual agriculture fair, the Green Week, opened in Berlin on Friday without cloven-hoofed animals.
