BCSnob - I have been in a vehicle with multiple dog crates. But I was also IN the vehicle with multiple dog crates. I was there to provide comfort to the animals during the ride. I was there to observe the dogs for signs of distress. I was there to make sure nothing bad happened to the dogs.
That is my biggest issue here. The dogs were placed in a situation which was not their familiar "ride in the car" AND which there was no one to observe how they were handling the situation, to help keep them calm, etc.
I would never put my dogs in an unfamiliar situation on their own like that. Had it been an emergency situation for a short duration, it would be one thing. But for a long distance trip like that - NO WAY.
I will also add that the time my dog had to ride in the back of a truck, I rode in the back of the truck with her. And years ago, I broke my tailbone riding in the back of a truck - so trust me, I know what it's like to ride back there.
