History
The ATA began in 1976 to address the concerns of industry leaders, government officials, and humane association representatives. The name was changed to "The Animal Transportation Association" in 1989 to emphasize that sea, air and land transport are of equal importance in the safe and humane transport of animals. Members include airlines, truckers, shipping firms, government agencies, universities, research organizations, breeders, importers, exporters, veterinarians, and many others that transport exotic and domestic animals.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of work has been, in part, the history of the worker’s body. Production depended on what the body could accomplish with strength and skill. Techniques that improve output have been driven by a general desire to decrease the pain of labor as well as by employers’ intentions to escape dependency upon that knowledge which only the sentient laboring body could provide.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“The only history is a mere question of one’s struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“You treat world history as a mathematician does mathematics, in which nothing but laws and formulas exist, no reality, no good and evil, no time, no yesterday, no tomorrow, nothing but an eternal, shallow, mathematical present.”
—Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)
