I wouldn't be surprise if they already do it, but don't tell people who ship them in cargo. Their have been several case that I read on the news this past year where they filled condoms with drugs and surgically put them inside the dogs. One poor dog was found dead in his kennel at the airport, which is how they found out. Another story was some lady had doves taped to her body, each bird was filled with drugs and most of them had died from it. I have also heard of people doing this to dogs trying to cross the Mexican borders. Their nuts out their!
So maybe it is not a bad idea for everyone's safety. What if a nut decided to put a plastic explosive inside a dog/cat? The scary part is that they would have to remove the dog from their kennel, and if the dog bites or escapes it would be a horror for the pet owner. -------Original Message------- From: Deanna Corey Date: 11/30/2010 3:27:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Pets In Cargo Area Of Plane I wonder with this new all body scan if our pups would have to have the scans too...how embarrasing Waggin' Tails in The Dog Park, Deanna and The Dog Park Pack: Nugget, Shuai-Li, Mouse, Myrtle, Mable, Madison and Caleb and honorary non-dog members of The Dog Park: Stella-Macaw, Stanley-Amazon, Miles the cat www.joys4toys.com From: Mare <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, November 30, 2010 12:12:21 PM Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Pets In Cargo Area Of Plane Shanna I have to disagree in part with you because I have shipped one before to California from Oklahoma. I chose Continental simply because they explained and showed me how the pets are treated there. When I picked up my puppy there at their cargo facility the puppy was in a warm quiet room. The guy had given her fresh water and complimented me on such a beautifully behaved puppy. He was very kind and very friendly. One thing I can say is when they transported the puppy I was shipping to the air terminal from the cargo building it was in a warm van. The puppy was put on board before the passengers even. I never saw any scuff marks or anything to indicate the crate was 'thrown'. On the other hand I would never use Delta again! They timed the connecting flights too close and my little beagle puppy I was shipping for my dad missed the flight! While they footed the bill for a boarding kennel I was hopping mad! I just felt I should say I have had positive experience with Continental.

They have to be in a certain type of crate that is airline approved. airline approved really means strong /tuff so if luggage or boxes falls on it, they wont crush the crate! They are thrown around the cargo area when there are turbulents and or sharp turns. Its very very noisy also with the engines. I would NEVER put my pet in the cargo section of a plane. Chihuahuas are timid enough without being put thru that. Shanna "My Chihuahua Ricky, Is A Heartbeat At My Feet."

What do you all think??? To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, November 30, 2010, 6:49 AM I fly to California occasionally with Tia to visit my son.. It usually cost about 250 dollars for her to fly in the cabin and they only allow a certain number of dogs per flight.. I am sure cargo is cheaper but I refuse to do it . Just a consideration if you have never flown with your dog.
