=[|Lab Monkeys on a Plane: Air Canada Supports Primate Cruelty]=

__Summary:__
48 monkeys were flown from China to Toronto in the cargo hold of an Air Canada jetliner. Where they then had to wait for more than 15 hours in tight cramped crates. Other Airlines like; British Airways, Delta Air Lines, Northwest Airlines and many more have already taken steps by refusing to ship any animals that are destined for labs. While Air Canada says its out of their hands and legally they are not allowed to say no.

__﻿Analysis:__
I find it very odd that other Airlines have been able to refuse to transport animals destined for labs yet for some reason Air Canada says by law they are not allowed to say no, something seems very wrong here. But at the same time I can see where Air Canada is coming from how are they to know where the animals or going or what their purpose is for when they get there? But yet in 1994 Air Canada refused to transport monkeys and the CTA (Canada Transportation Agency) ruled that they had too due to the fact they were not a nuisance to passengers. But four years ago in 2007 Air Canada stopped transporting beagles used for reasearch because they barked as the jetliner took off and landed. This is a very confusing topic as to why quiet animals should be allowed to be transported yet the ones that make sound do not. Also if other Airlines can refuse to transport animals for reasearch labs why cant Canadian Airliners? I think this article could be linked back to the theory of **Humanism.** People have a natural tendency to make decisions about their own lives. So in this case the people at Air Canada have the free will and choice to make their own decisions on to transport animals regardless if they are annoying to passangers or not.
