America's southern friends
1800 lbs. of tortilla chips from MEX to EWR.
500 lbs. of frozen dead/skinned guinea pigs from EWR to GYE.
To some these things are a delicacy, however we didn't tell them that we just caught the little furry "rats" from the New York city subway system
I can't imagine eating them.

A full pallet of beagles in cages, all with their vocal chords severed, so they couldn't yelp or bark when the Japanese (in Japan) were doing experiments on them. Made me sick, as I'm a dog lover. I wanted to cut some Japanese vocal chords, in retaliation, but then realized that experimenting on animals was probably better than experimenting on humans, with some exceptions, of course. However, it sure did ruin the entire trip for me.

Navy: Military trained dolphins. The Judds to/from Gitmo on Thanksgiving. Jet engines with human remains still inside (the engine is escorted to the rework facility just like a casket). GEN Colin Powell hosting the NATO miltary committee.
Too many political bigshots.
Commercial: Pair of juvenile Siberian tigers going to another zoo.

An entire C-2a (COD) filled with Tampax. I guess the carrier supply officer forgot he was leaving on a six month deployment without taking care of the ladies needs. I thought the rubber dog $hi# out of Hong Kong was going to be the low point of my Naval Aviation career, but I guess not.

What I MEANT was I didn't know they cut animals vocal chords prior to experimentation.

I've also had thousands of 2-3 day old chicks going to Japan for med research!
