IATA rules for animal handling are very clear because of biosecurity hazards and appear to have been majorly breached, probably as a combination of poor loading as well as unloading.

In order for all the luggage to fit suitcases must also be loaded in the same hold around the animals. This can result in cages being damaged if there is turbulance. Mon 15 Dec 2008 19:56:08 GMT+1
