FYI about shipping livestock.
There is a huge difference about trying to ship something in the cabin of an aircraft as opposed to the belly.
If something is shipping in cargo the appropriate precautions must be taken to ensure that no water could escape and damage the aircraft. This is taken care of by the LFS that ships livestock on a daily basis. The shipper takes responsibility that the package will not damage the aircraft, if it does the shipper can be held responsible.
If you try to sneak some live stock in the cabin of the aircraft and it leaks out you run a much higher risk of damaging something because the cabin of an aircraft is not sealed in the same manor as the belly would be. Once again the individual runs the risk of being held responsible for any costs associated to the damage.
ELS is not part of WestJet, it is simply a Marketing company hired by WestJet to sell cargo.
If your going to ship livestock from J&L or someone else let them take care of shipping is for you, you'll run into allot fewer problems.
It's not so much screwed by WestJet but screwed by yourself for not doing your homework.
