Fitness for transport is an important factor affecting the potential for suffering during animal transportation. Examination of Canadian condemnation statistics, surveys of animals transported to slaughter, and legal case studies show that current guidelines and regulations do not always ensure that only fit animals are transported. Consideration of the pathophysiological implications of ill-health and injury on an animal's response to the potential physical and physiological challenges that can occur during transportation can assist in identifying the welfare implications of transporting compromised animals.
运输适宜性是影响动物运输过程中遭受痛苦可能性的一个重要因素。对加拿大的淘汰统计数据进行审查、对运往屠宰场的动物进行调查以及开展法律案例研究表明，现行指南和法规并不总能确保只有健康的动物才会被运输。考虑健康不佳和受伤对动物应对运输过程中可能出现的潜在身体和生理挑战的反应所产生的病理生理影响，有助于确定运输体弱动物对福利的影响。
