21. Live Animal Transport by Air Live animals have been transported by air since the early 1930's. In today's modern world, carriage of live animals by air is considered the most humane and expedient method of transportation over long distances. Airlines play an important role in this process, offering the most humane and expedient way of relocating the animals. Live animals are transported internationally for many reasons – as livestock, as consumable foodstuffs, for research that benefits humans and animals, as pets, or for species conservation.
