....thankyou. It just occured to me is there anyway you can send a live animal through the post? Yep. Take a live animal (eg a cat), and place it in a box, or a very large padded envelope. Seal the box / envelope tightly. Write the destination address clearly on the front of the box / envelope, and remember to include the sender's address on the back. If it's a very tiny animal, remember to write 'Fragile' in reasonably large letters on the box / envelope. Take the box / envelope to the post office, and have it weighed. Stick the appropriate amount of stamps / postage on the same side as the destination address. Post it. |

Thank you very much. Now would that process apply to two animals in the same envelope too?

My freedom apparantly animal cruelty is frowned upon. But whos to say its cruel? Not I. I don't understand. The animal gets to travel. Travel is good. Where's the cruelty? It would be cruel if you sent the animal in the post without an envelope. |
