I remember watching an episode of Animal Rescue RSPCA (the Australian one) where the officers staked out a local market where livestock were sold in individual numbers.

There were sheep being taken away in conditions similar to this. I think all the drivers got was a first time warning, and an education in how it was supposed to be done. But you can bet any repeat offenders would have had a fine at the least, if not having the animal confiscated.

I can't believe any intelligent law enforcement officer would think this was a suitable way to transport a pig. At least the poor rubes on the TV programme were immigrants trying to buy a one-off for a family feast day. Why didn't the cops call proper animal control?

Still, I'm saying that and I brought a cat home on the bus (in a proper cat carrier, but there was leakage of urine by the end...)
