I've been terribly irresponsible and left this for the 11th hour. It occured to me tonight that I have no idea who to get my Tom, 2 roos and a hen to a friends to become dinner. Dh has a little dodge with a roll top tonneau cover. Is it cruel to put them in there, close the tonneau and drive 45 mins? It will not be a warm morning so I'm not worried about that. More so broken legs and bruises. I also have a dog kennel that would fit two roos or maybe the hen too very cramped. The roos are mean though so I think she's get picked on so cramped? Also am I correct in taking the food away tonight and only letting them have water before we go? Thanks.
taking food away the night before a transport does help keep things less messy and if they are being butchered in the morning it is also a good idea for the butcherer to make their job a little easier. Dog kennel, box with air holes cut into it. Not sure about have them flop about in the back under a truck cover. I guess thats you call.
I like to use cardboard boxes. Better fit, so less flopping around. Dark, so they calm down. Disposable, no mess to clean up. Free!!!
