I don't know for sure about the laws regulating transport of animals versus transport of humans, but at a guess I'd say that is also more than likely a myth. A bit like the idea that the manufacturing process of animal food is more tightly regulated than human food. I also suspect that those that do exist are not great, easily bypassed and badly enforced.
Yeah, you know I got that info from sources I usually despise, so I will hold my hands up and say it's most likely wrong.

But anyone who has been on the Tube in rush hour does think "Isn't there a law against this?!"

My first thought when the London Underground bombs hit was "Well, they'd have had more victims if they got up earlier!"
Of course as it unfolded I was distressed and sickened. Hurt badly, it brought back all the old worries and stress.

But that really was my initial thought, because they hit at 08.50.
I used to get on the Tube at 07.45.
And boarding at Leyton I couldn't get a seat until Oxford Circus.
