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


Because its easy to do and there's NO risk if you ship & package PROPERLY. After a few hundred boxes, you see how it works. The freezing argument doesn't really matter as even in the dead-heat of summer, its still minus 50 when the plane is 50,000 feet in the air. Ship with the right airlines, and your box will be fine. Ship the animals with a parcel company and don't tell them its live and you take your chances. Not worth it.

Maybe I missed something - but what exactly was the reason that it was so much more dangerous to ship in cold weather than it is to ship in non-cold weather??? Please speak from EXPERIENCE and not what you THINK might happen.
