Transportation Space RequirementsIn Europe, the minimum space guidance
specified for transporting people and farm animals on trains is as follows. Data are in square meters per kilogram of live animal/person.
Chickens - 0.02
Goats - 0.0086
Calves - 0.008
People - 0.0062
Therefore, if people complain that they are being packed in commuter trains like farm animals, they should be corrected. Farm animals are allocated considerably more space according to European Union and British government requirements.
Some animals are simply more equal. Chickens, for example, get to enjoy more than three times the space allocated for humans.
