Default Hauling a hog

A friend of mine needs to transport one Vietnamese Pot Bellied pig from California to Tennessee.

She wants to know if she has to have special permits and cages and such to transport her accross state lines. She was just going to put her in the back of a U Haul and go.

I have no idea......help!!!!

Thanks.

Yeah, be sure to poke holes in the U Haul so that the pig can breathe.

Is that pig really from Vietnam?

Never seen a V.N. Pot Bellied Pig before? Small pigs, some people have them as house pets! My friend doesnt do that though...

I believe you have to have a copy of shot records and a form from the vet verifying the health and limitations of transport. Check USDA rules for transport of exotic pets.

Try the I 80 in Nebraska and Iowa.

They own that road, or so they think.
