Animals including an African crested porcupine, 2 sugar gliders, and 1 coati were transported in enclosures that lacked “live animal” or “wild animal” signage and did not have directional arrows or markings indicating the correct upright position of the enclosure. A lack of clear markings can inhibit correct handling and cage orientation by first responders in the event of an emergency. Correct for all future transports by ensuring that the top and on one or more sides of transport enclosures are marked with the words “Wild Animals” or “Live Animals” in letters at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) high, with arrows or other markings to indicate the correct upright position of the primary enclosure. Correct by 30-September-2023.
