bye bye baby
« on: October 10, 2009, 04:15:59 pm »
Just thought you guys would like to see how most people transports the baby camels to their new homes when they buy them from me.  This one was very happy to get his first ride in a Hummer ;).

WOW that's amazing. Thats how I transport my kids (goats) but a Camel is a whole different story! Bet it causes a few giggles from drivers looking in to the back of their car.

Is it legal?!
In britain, you have to transport livestock in a trailer, and complete movement forms.

Dont think even a baby camel would fit in the back of my fiesta...

Legal? Probably not really, but unless you commit another crime that gets you stopped by a cop, no one would ever know. I would bet even if you were stopped by any law enforcement, they would be so tickled with the very sight of this, they would be too busy taking pictures of him with their cell phones to show their buddies, you would probably not even get the citation you  originally got stopped for. As far as paperwork and forms go, the only time you have to pull into a state inspection station is when you ARE pulling a livestock trailer. So there you go, no trailer, no inspection, no paperwork, no useless money given to a veterinarian.  ;) win, win, win  ;)

I sure don't think so, they are so content when they are with "their" human servants, so I feel they should ride in comfort with them too. (or for as long as they are small enough, which is only for the first few months of their life) ;)

Technically in the UK, livestock should only be moved in something that can be completely disinfected. So unless you wanted your car or whatever sprayed all over by a power washer with disinfectant, then they should be in a trailer. We actually also travel goats in the van, but obviously the back of that can be washed out and disinfected.

That said, I know people who have travelled goats etc in the back of cars. I remember going to market as a child, and coming back with a calf in the back of a hatchback car.

I would like to drive up the motorway with a baby camel on the back seat - and watch other peoples faces when they saw him!!!

We only have a big trailer, so tend to move the goats in the back of the van, if we have to move them.   They enjoy watching out the back window!!

You could easily rig up a panel either side of the van to get them in without escaping and put one in the back of the van to keep them restrained to a section of it.  My puppy pen panels would work for that. http://www.croftonline.co.uk/products.asp?partno=freedom931x
