The bus company has since spoken out about the incident, explaining that in these exceptional circumstances they would not have condemned the drivers' actions and have instead praised them, and explained to the news outlet'Clarin':
You can't take animals on public transport. We are usually strict on this, but this is a special case and a show of solidarity.
