Transporting Pets

I am both an obsessive pet owner and an avid traveler. While these two hobbies may seem entirely unrelated, they are often in direct conflict with one another. It is almost impossible to bring an animal from one place to the next, especially when that animal is a 100+ pound African sulcata tortoise. As animals are increasingly forced out of their native habitats and into our homes, it is time that we allow for them to be transported successfully. 

Studies show that the average person has less friends than they did 20 years ago. Often, this role of companionship is filled with a pet. It is only understandable that someone would wish to bring their companion with them on their voyages. For the sake of public mental health, pets are a necessity.

The ability to take an animal with you on a trip also has some economic rationale. Millions of people who previously did not want to leave their pets behind would now be flooding the travel industry with money. 

In sense of both the population and the economy, our lives become better when we can bring pets with us.
