zoos.
How is the welfare of the animals affected?
If the animal is in a small crate
while being transported it wont
have the luxury of fresh food and
water although some should be
provided unless the animal is
sedated while being transported.
Also if the animal is being transported
to abroad in a crate by an aeroplane
then it wont have the luxury of fresh
air, as the air on a plane is recycled.
If the animal is in a trailer with other
animals such as itself there wont be
much room for the animals to move
about also there wont be any food or
water provided, the animals would
all be over crowded.
If the animal is being transported
with other animals like in a large
animal trailer, if they all start to
excrete their waste, then they would
all be standing in it and maybe even
lying down and sleep on it, which
could cause the animal or animals to
become ill. As it is unclean
