International movement starts early
Animal movements can involve customs, agriculture, environment and health authorities in several countries. Lead times commonly extend for months.
Import and export permits, health certificates, CITES documents and transit approvals must align precisely with travel dates.
Transport and quarantine
Specialised crates, approved carriers, temperature management and suitable ground transport protect welfare throughout a journey.
Quarantine availability can determine the production schedule, especially for Australia’s strict biosecurity system.
Coordinated production support
Handler visas, insurance, emergency planning and regional partners complete the movement plan. Dark Horse Productions coordinates this network so creative teams can focus on filming.
