International Air Transport Association
The International Air Transport Association publishes
the Live Animal Regulations ( http://www.iata.org/ps/
publications/Pages/live-animals.aspx ) which describe
standards for shipping animals humanely and in compli-
ance with airline regulations and animal welfare standards.
CITES, OIE, EU states and the US Fish and Wildlife
Service recognize these regulations for the transport of

Animal Transport Association
The Animal Air Transportation Association (ATA) was
organized in 1976 and in 1989 the name of ATA was
changed to “The Animal Transportation Association.” The
ATA is an international nonprofit organization that is
concerned with the safe and humane transportation of
animals. The ATA's Statement of Policies ( http://www.
animaltransportationassociation.org/about/policies.cfm )
notes “The Animal Transportation Association, Inc. (ATA)
believes that all animals, birds, fish and other living crea-
tures, domestic and wild, including biological materials,
are a vital part of our world environment, to be preserved,
humanely treated and utilized for the long run, well being
and benefit of the human race. The ATA understands the
need for research, education and some public interest
regulation of animal health and transportation and it is the
policy of ATA to develop and promote, in collaboration
with the industry, the best means of accomplishing these
objectives.” A focal point of ATA's mission is to encourage
research, education, improved service, and increased
international coordination in the shipment of live animals.
