animals as freight?
Does anybody have any good animals-as-freight stories, for a book on stewardesses that I'm doing one chapter of which will be "Strange Cargo"?
Yes, I know this has nothing to do with stewardesses, but the airlines invariably did a PR photo of a pretty stew with the racehorse, or the weird show dog, or Rin Tin Tin when a cargo flight carried an interesting animal. So since this book is "A Photographic History," we need to justify using some of these shots, and I'll do so by recounting some of your strange tales...if it's okay with you.
I know there are a bunch of good stories hinted at in the sticky thread "Strangest Freight," and I will peruse that as well.

I remember having read on PPRUNE threads of lions (both the land and sea varieties), horses, sled-dogs, cats, cattle, chickens, sheep and elephants.
Quite the menagerie, eh? Happy searching! (Google works better than pprune's internal tool)
