Create compartments using moveable panelsThis was the right answer

Use suitable movable partitions to create compartments for the animals being carried. They must be strong enough and prevent injury without crowding animals, restricting necessary natural movement or blocking inspection and care. Enough space remains a welfare requirement, not an incorrect principle.
