What procedures are followed when handling live animals?

Handling live animals requires special protocols that prioritize their safety and well-being during transport. These procedures include specific preparations such as ensuring proper ventilation, monitoring temperature control, and adhering to regulations set by both airlines and veterinary authorities.

Unlike general baggage handling or standard luggage protocols, which do not consider the unique needs of live animals, the special handling procedures are tailored to address the risks associated with transporting living creatures. This encompasses safe crate conditions and careful loading techniques to minimize stress and potential harm.

Following these specialized procedures helps ensure that live animals are treated with the utmost care throughout their journey, reflecting the responsibilities airlines have toward animal safety.
