Live Freight -- shipping live animal 5000 miles/ sea and land

I am thinking about transporting a pig across the ocean and across the land, is that freight, then? I have been searching for live freight and freight forwarding and shipping, but nothing looks right. this is a pet, not a huge trailer full of swine.  i asked a recue center but they haven't responded- maybe you all know something??

If it's only one pig, and you refer to it is a pet, why making it go through an exhausting 5000 mile journey? If it's only a single pet, and if you do care about it, I think that shipping it by air would be much more humane, and not that expensive as you might think it is. Also keep in mind that it has to stay for a few weeks in a veterinarian quarantine.

Airlines are pretty tough about what kind of animals they will accept.  Most airlines only let dogs and cats, while others will accept some exotic birds.  I intend on flying my dog and cat, but the pig is too big to bring through the airport at 350, and a bit ornery around strangers.  I think flying her to the nearest mainland port and then hauling her, so I can adjust things, like giving water, or ice or a blanket, but HOW?? how to get a crate onto a trauler? How to get onto a plane- cargo plane, I guess, but no one at cargo is respnding right now.  How does the circus do it??

 oh, and quaratine is only coming inot Hawaii,not going out.
