Canada
In Canada, transportation of animals is federally regulated. The Health of Animals Regulations state that an animal has to be fit for the intended journey and that a non-ambulatory animal cannot be transported because transport would cause additional suffering.
The Canadian authority responsible for the welfare of animals that are transported is the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
