Animal Airport (2012)
Season 3
Birds are not the only animals that can fly. Every year, about 40 million animals check in at Heathrow airport for air transport. Most of them first go to the Animal Reception Centre, world leader in the field of animal transport. Not only dogs and cats come through here, also snakes, bears, tigers, horses, sharks, elephants and other exotic animals pass the ARC if they have to be moved. Animal Airport follows the versatile work of the employees of this animal reception who see the most special animals pass by. Unfortunately, they also often make the less fun side of their work when they encounter animals which are illegally transported under pitiful conditions.
