I wonder how the ride in the car on a car hauler compares to ride in the back of a TV when it is porpoising?
All vehicles that transport pets & owners are free of rattling personal contents, squeeks, loud radios, rattling pet crates doors, rattling pet bowls, etc?
Someone who is traveling distances and letting their TV porpoise continuously needs to rethink something regardless of whether there are pets.
I work with car haulers. I have seen how rough the ride is on them. I have heard the creaking, squeaking, rattling, etc. It has no comparison to being inside a passenger vehicle.
As for the noises, my Moose-dog gets very nervous with strange noises. When I am with him, I can calm him down, stop the car and let him out for a bit, move the items so that the noises stopped, etc. Putting him in a car on a car hauler where not only could I not calm him down, but where I could not observe whether he was distressed or not, is wrong on so many levels.
I'd also point out that this is not about someone who was in a "there's nothing else I can do" situation. She COULD have transported her dogs in her car. She CHOSE to put her dogs on the car hauler rather than her inanimate belongings.
