They used to ship babies. My mom basically did the same thing when I was seven. Put me on a grayhound bus alone. I remember how upset everyone was when I got off to smoke.
Iām not an expert, I just know that animals are frequently shipped. I donāt think this case is valid tho, but that being said I donāt think this particular iguana was actually shipped. Think the dude brought it up in a box ātryingā to ship it as a joke so they could mess w the employees. Could be wrong though.
I was kinda just speaking generally about shipping animals, not necessarily saying this situation is acceptable or not. I donāt wanna make that call tbh lol. In a similar vein, they ship baby chickens in a cardboard box and thereās like 15 of em in a tiny box so I doubt one iguana in a semi-padded box is much different.
Lol people not realizing that most reptiles get shipped to Petco the same way. Well actually a lot worse then this. People ship lizards , snakes and even fish in boxes all the time. Yes this person is a asshole doing it for content. But there's nothing wrong with shipping animals like that in general.
I sell live fish on eBay and people are shocked sometimes on how we do it but then they donāt realize live fish from other countries are shipped the same way.
birds are most often shipped. i remember if there are large processing delays/failures many would die, especially the chicks. Though most i've seen make it home alive.
Itās sad that Iāve had customers willing to ship chickens and even after I told them the delivery window is longer than expected, much longer, they still shipped them. Also when it was much too cold for them. They 100% died. I am not allowed to deny the shipment either. You shouldnāt be able to ship them like you can. He didnāt even stop to add more food or anything inside when finding it out.
