Then there was the famous pig incident at the cargo depot of a major Oz airline at Sydney, where a rather smelly prize stud boar bound for NZ was left out in the sun, and suffered a spot of sunburn.
Into the freezer to cool him down, but he was forgotten for a while.
Out into the sun to thaw him a little, followed by a phone call to the owner to come and pick up their unfortunate, departed pig.
The letter to the freight manager from the owner's vet asked for an explanation on how the autopsy turned up a sunburnt pig, with frozen intestines.
