The thread title isn't justice for the story. It made me think she willingly tortured the animal and used the airline as a cop-out.

The thread title isn't justice for the story. It made me think she willingly tortured the animal and used the airline as a cop-out. I heard about the story last night and couldn't understand it at first, but there was just a mention of something that might have explained it. The story says she needed to make the flight to "deal with a medical issue", which wasn't spelled out. (I see that in this longer story, it is spelled out. She had a tumor that was scheduled to be removed via surgery.) I remember being a college student desperately trying to make a flight one time. The original flight had been canceled and I had been booked on another airline. I waited forever in the line for people with tickets (ah, the bad old days of paper tickets....), only to be told my tickets were no good. I had to wait forever in another line for people with no tickets, only to be told that I had to pay for them if I wanted to fly. I refused, knowing that they were already paid for by the original airline, and I didn't have the money anyway, being a college student. So they said, basically, "screw you, go back to the original airline". All this time I was painfully limping on a cane due to a sprained knee. Anyway, I can only imagine that if I had been told by some sadistic airline employee that I could fly, but only if I flushed my pet hamster down a toilet, I might have been so disoriented and scared that I might have done it. People often make poor decisions when placed under great stress. |

My niece works for Allegiant. Lady with a Great Dane service dog shows up. She gets the front row so her dog can lay down. Luckily, flight wasn’t full. Otherwise I guess people would of had to put their feet on top of,the dog? As the plane is boarding she tells the stewardess the dog has to pee. So she takes the dog and one of the baggage guys (can’t be on the tarmac unless you work for the airline) and they walk around for 15-20 minutes delaying the flight. Dog never pees. Get back on, dog pees about 20 minutes into the flight.
If you need a service of anxiety animal and you want to fly occasionally, get a small animal. Hamster works for me. Peacocks and Great Danes do not.
