greyhounds Question: Would lions and tigers be considered HazMat?
Question: Would lions and tigers be considered HazMat?
LOL!!!!! Wonder which placard they would use? Maybe explosive?
My guess is that the reason they haul them by truck would be not to have to transfer them to the railcar on the spur. Less handling = less liability. I also would imagine that by truck would also have less sudden loud noises (slack action, diamonds, etc.).
They go by truck.
My guess is the circus wants to avoid handling the "big cats" any more than necessary. If one or more got loose it would be a disaster. Once they've got 'em on a truck it's better to "just go" than to fool around with any kind of intermodal transfer.
In the recent excellent article about the Circus Trains, a comment was made that the big cats travel by other means. What are these means and are the big cats too hard to handle on trains? Just wonderin'.
