Nobody is asking the important question: were the goats and chickens secure?
I don't think this was such a big deal. Ever seen a Pakistan bus or ferry? Like first class this is where the profit margin for a flight is generated.
I once with difficulty got a ticket on Turkish Airlines Jeddah to Adana. The plane, a B-727, was loaded with Hajis. I shared the three-seater space with a Turk family, a father, mother and a nine year-old daughter, the daughter on the lap of her mother. After take-off the mother wanted a cigarette but was having problems lighting it, so I offered to take the girl on my lap. She sat on my lap for the rest of the way. Girl loved it!
Probably used some of the hidden crew rest area's to sit them all down.
