Tired of Knocking Sounds Under the Hood?

Last week troopers at a Virginia sobriety checkpoint heard a knocking in the trunk of a stopped car and heard knocking in the back.  The driver was asked by the policeman what was in the trunk and was told it was a goat.
When the trunk was opened, the temperature was found to be high and the goat was panting.
The goat was taken to the pound.
The driver, Fiona Ann Enderdy, a Kenyan, claimed that such conveyance was acceptable in the United Kingdom.
She was charged with cruelty to animals and released.
There were three more Kenyans in the car too, guess they were all headed to a barbecue and wanted to tenderize the meat.
What's with this 'ok in the UK' crap?
Does that mean this is a regular trip kind of thing, sort of like Enderdy and Kumar go to White Castle?
Back in Kenya, its not a problem, the goat can breath because he's strapped to the back of a camel, a warthog, Idi Amin or whatever.
