Yes I have the same reservations....that is why I am trying to find answers. You see...My husband is redneck and veerrrry stubborn. I have come up with every argument I can think of. and he thinks they are silly. First of all the animals health....carbon dioxide, he says cant get in. Then I say OK if that can't get in what about oxygen? No problem. he says, going 60 miles per hour down highway' fumes won't get in but they will get air because trailer is not air tight....go figure!

Flooring. told him we would need rubber mat...he actually did "think" about that...Finally! What I am trying to do is find something "concrete" and factual stating this is an illegal way to haul them. Have done several google searches as well as ask jeeves. Currently subscribed to a "cattle" forum. Still not finding anything to "fight" with.

> Not trying to sound bitchy, just hate to see you lose your calves before

Won't lose the calves...I'll find something to persuade him to listen. I'm very determined on this. No Uhaul!

> Good luck and have a safe trip!

The calves will! Or I won't be involved. Can't do that either. Have to be there. This is really "getting my goat". There has to be someone out there that has tried this before with ill consequences. I just have to find it.

NOTICE TO SCUMBEEZLES
(you know who you are... you scream "Foul!" when the truth comes out)

        PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
        If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace.
        NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!"
        Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.
        Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.

You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.
        By posting messages and/or content on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, you give permission for Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications to display, distribute and use the posting and content for publication, advertising, promotion, excerption or example.

        In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact.
        And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!).
