Passenger, Pooch Removed From Plane

In an earlier blog, I spoke about air travel and bringing the pet along.

It happens to be the norm these days that passengers bring along the family pet to join in for some rest and relaxation. After-all, the beloved animal is part of the family.

I am amazed, however, at what extremes are taken just to bring them onto the plane.

A young lady and her dog were removed from their flight because the pet was just too large for the carrier that she transported her pet in.

Quite frankly, passengers are doing this more often than not.

One very profound reason is that if a passenger can have the pet in the cabin with them they find ways to make it work for them.

It doesn't necessarily mean that it works for the pet, however, who is being cooped up with no room to move around in the carrier.

This type of animal cruelty is in-humane.

Passenger need to take more responsibility for their actions and be more caring in situations of truly loving their pets.

Anyway, the young lady was adamant that she traveled before with her pet and that she was still going to take the flight.

Needless-to-say, a supervisor had to remove her from the aircraft and she had to find other travel accommodations.
