Hi, I cannot see why any living creature should not be included in a report of loss, injury or death. Reporting these incidences does not necessarily invoke an investigation but if the number of incidences show a pattern then by all means it should be investigated. I think it would be very selfish of the AKC and representatives to only want this provision to apply to cats and dogs. In the broad term any living creature is entitled to safety when flying and in international travel circles any incident of a sick or dead creature arriving should be investigated in case disease is being introduced to another country.
Safety costs and any improvements need to be paid for by those that use it. Rose
