Why do you need to know about the safe carriage of live animals?
Main Responsibilities
*
(2) To prevent damage to the aircraft and customer baggage (e.g., spillage of urine)
"urine and faeces is difficult to clean, smelly, potentially
corrosive
and
unpleasant
for subsequent passengers."
(1) To ensure the safety of the flight (e.g., avoids distractions for the pilot and keeps the passengers safe from harm)
"the
risk
of carrying large animals incorrectly or inadequately restrained
cannot be overestimated
...Reactions of animals under stress are unpredictable; some may attack while others will try to hide...
the potential for disaster is extremely high."
"...animals [should] be cosigned and carried in a humane manner that
prevents harm
to the
animal
and Company
personnel
and damage to
aircraft
."
(3) To prevent the spread of disease e.g., Avian flu
"Avian
influenza
caused by the H5N1 virus in small animal populations."
(5) To present a good demonstration of the gospel to overseas supporters (witness)
"the opinion of people overseas
can not only affect financial and prayer support
.. it can also affect whether people consider us a good demonstration of the gospel of Christ... a pig trussed to a pole so that its legs bleed...does not create a good impression."
(4) To ensure animal welfare and maintain our responsibility as stewards of God's creation
"we are
stewards
of our environment...to ignore or condone suffering in animals seems inconsistent with a faith in a creator God who said that all He had made was very good."
*
(6) To ensure we are acting according to government guidelines
"
government prohibitions.
.. restrictions on the movement of some animals."

What to do (rules and regulations)
Care Requirements
b.)
Animals should be loaded last and unloaded first
Take care when loading.
*d.) Animals shall not be left for a long time on the apron due to noise, wind, rain and extreme temperatures
there may also be places inside the building e.g., rooms that are too hot *
c.)
Animals waiting for long periods or on long flights should have access to water.
a.)
Cargo containing animals should be treated as a high priority
Packaging Requirements
Animals should be carried so
Fluids and droppings cannot leak out from the package.
They are kept upright.
They are loaded and secured in a way that does not crush them or their package, and
that allows breathing space around the package
Space between day old chicks - need alot of oxygen to stay alive
They are not loaded next to infectious substances, DRY ICE, food or dead bodies
Manual Change?
They do not suffer or are distressed for a long time.
They cannot escape from the package.
Take care when shutting the doors prior to take off.
Staff shall refuse to carry animals that are not appropriately packaged.
Each animal must be placed on a moisture-absorbent mat in a container
When carrying guide dogs, the animal must be placed on a moisture absorbent mat in the aisle next to its owner; the owner must be instructed to restrain the dog in a way which will prevent it from moving
from the mat.
More than one animal must not be kept in the same container if doing so would be likely to
adversely affect the safety of the aircraft;
Containers holding animals must be separated sufficiently so as to prevent behaviour which
may cause distress to passengers or distraction to the pilot;
Each container is to be secured in accordance with the load restraint system specified for the
aircraft type. No container holding an animal may be carried on an unoccupied control seat;
A post-flight check of the aircraft shall be carried out by the pilot in command.
If any animal
body fluid is detected in the aircraft, it must be cleaned immediately and the aircraft's Maintenance Release or Technical Log must be appropriately endorsed. The spill must be investigated by a LAME and the Maintenance Release or Technical Log entry cleared no later
than the next scheduled service.
General Transporting Rules
d.) Animals shall not be transported on company aircraft if their carriage could adversely affect the safety
of the aircraft or its occupants (e.g. a panic reaction to a reptile).
e.) With the exception of guide dogs,any animals carried on board company aircraft must be in a
container and should be carried in the segregated cargo sections.
c.)
Animals must be sufficiently passive so as to avoid behaviour which may cause distress to the
passengers or distraction to the pilot. This may require sedation;
b.) Operations staff (including pilots) accepting animals for carriage on the aircraft are responsible to carry animals in accordance with the requirements of General Operating Procedures Manual (MPGO.GEN) Section 10.15 – Carriage of Animals
f.) Where animals are carried regularly, operations staff shall make programme requirements for the
carriage of animals available to customers appropriately.
a.) The Pilot in Command should be informed of the location of any animals loaded onto the
aircraft.
