Animosity

When exactly is the roll for animosity made?
Is it when the action is declared (P42 Declaring Actions) or when the actual Action takes place e.g Hand-Off (P51 Hand-Off)?
This came up last night in a game where I needed my OWA Halfling to move and pick up a loose ball then Hand-Off to the Human Catcher. We initially played if as the Animosity roll was made at the point of the actual Hand-Off but on reviewing the rules thought it actually should be tested at the point of Declaration.
According to Animosity (P81) a failed Animosity roll ends the model's activation.
Failing it at the point of the Hand-Off would at least mean the ball was in the Halfling's hands; failing it at Declaration would mean I couldn't even move to pick up the ball.
