Shipping live animals with this heat overseas minimum 8 hours flight do you think is avisable?

The number of hours of the flight to be flown has nothing do do with the heat. Besides, at cruise altitude the temperature is a minus 50 decgrees C, so heat would not be a problem, anyway. The cargo compartment that houses the animals has the same regulated temperature as the cabin, so not a problem for the animals in the cargo hold. The problem with heat, is on connecting flights while the animals wait on the tarmac between flights is where the asphalt/concrete can reach upwards of 140 degrees F(although the ambient outside temperature could be much lower(i.e. 90 degrees F), and cause harm to waiting animals on the ramp. This is normally not a problem, because companies have air conditioned holding areas where the pets are normally kept, until it is time for them to be loaded.
