I am just reading this now and I'm not a happy camper.

YES, I looked into ALL requirements, had ALL the paperwork, went down 3 hours early for a domestic flight and was bounced around 5 different times from security to oversized cargo to UPS to Air Canada again only to have security change their minds.....and to miss my flight to boot.

And then to be accused of being neglectful and dishonest?!? Nice end to a really sh!tty day. Why the hell would I go and list a $70 tang for free if I had the ability to take it myself? Maybe give a fellow Canreefer the benefit of the doubt before accusing them when they are trying to offer something for free. Not really encouraging of goodwill.

Yeah, obviously I did! Have you ever tried showing the legislation to a group of security officers, their supervisors and have them call in to their supervisor because they still don't understand?

At what point do you continue to plead your case while missing your flight or decide to save the fish instead and open yourself up to the judgEment of the board members?!?

But hey, you were all there and saw everything with your own eyes and know everything about the legislations of the two countries in order to judge, right???? Well hell, the next time I consider making any aquaria purchase I will be sure to post on this board for y'all's approval or will that be the wrong decision as well?

At the end of the day I don't see why anyone on here gives a **** lol
You tried, a couple Calgary guys tried
Ended in a fail.
Life goes on lol

Sorry but no sympathy here what did you expect, them to know your situation?

We warned you about how hard it is to get foreign animals into canada, ou tried anyways
The airlines rules are posted publically!! What did you expect

I know you tried to do the right thing and i respect that but you OBVIOUSLY didnt look at all the requirements or this thread wouldnt exist would it?

Well, i don't know if dogs would be different than fish but a guy that i know brought a pit bull into the country from Mexico, yes from Mexico, they did not give him any heck at all !! The only thing that it was required for this guy to bring in this dog was vaccination papers. This papers were all in spanish to start with, maybe the officer knew how go read spanish but he just said pay $50 here and welcome to Canada. Go figure!!!

Its not the same i bought a dog from germany only thing i needed was to pay taxes, they know a dog and its breed is easily found.

Plus dogs domt come in liquid

This had nothing to do with paperwork or lineage its a matter of country security the rule of travelling with liquids is a well know rule
