I don't recall telling anyone how to ship their animals.

The fact remains that by large most people agree that shipping when temperatures are freezing is unadvisable,(big breeders included - check their web pages, I did 99% of the web pages have a weather related clause in their shipping TOS) the only exception seems to be if they are shipping same day airport to airport.

I am sure that you have plenty of money or replacement animals in case of accident, but not everyone has that luxury. If you want to put your animals in a precarious situation that is your prerogative, I would not any more advise someone to ship in freezing weather as I would to put a hot rock in the cage for warmth – it can be done – but there are better ways.

And maybe I missed something – but what was that reason that someone absolutely needs to have the animal shipped into freezing weather?
