Remove requirement to register pets as manifest cargo for flights to/from the UK

Pets are family. Many countries allow pet to travel with passengers in cabin (<8kg) and in hold (>8kg), without being registered as cargo. However, in the UK pet owners need to register them as “manifest cargo". This can lead to significant costs, and we believe is unnecessary. We plead for the Government to follow the example from EU countries and simplify the process of pet importation, while still maintaining the highest standards of animal welfare.
