Problems shipping live Pigs in lower deck

Good day cargo colleagues

Has anyone carried any live pigs in the lower deck of a pax aircraft lately
on a long flt of 12 hours or so

My client does not have many main deck options available short of a long drive to some remote airfield in Europe which is bound to upset the EU types when he shows them the transportation plan

I m being told there were a few incidents of pax flights returning to orgin
due to the heat generated by the pigs setting off the fire alarms and such like

If anybody has any concrete examples of this happening could they kindly share the knowledge

Thanks in advance
