Breathless coverage of dog death

Maybe, Sammy, it should have appeared in the Sports pages too – bloodsports.

For a lot of people, the family pet holds as much importance in their lives as a child does to others. I think this story deserves all the coverage it has received.

The articles did have a more general theme of the safety of animal transportation in planes.

I’ll be thinking twice about it now.

If that happened to my dog I’d certainly want a media feeding frenzy, if for no other reason than to make others aware; and perhaps to make sure it’s less likely to happen again.

Of course, I’d have to do it from a jail cell because I’d be in there for murdering the bastards responsible..

I think it’s reasonable.

Who are we to judge ourselves any better than any other animal with obviously so much more serious agenda ?

The facts I gather from this story is that a dog was travelling in an animal transporter cage, which meant that it was in a cramped position and not a pleasant way to pass away.

While said airplane was stuck on the tarmac, it can be certain that the air conditioning was on for the passengers, so is it wrong to point out that no such privelege was passed onto the other living cargo ?

Nobody, nae, Nothing should ever have to suffer a tortuous death.

Go down to the RSPCA for all of your sins and look after an abandoned animal.

Poor dog

canberra times. what else do we need to say ?

Having now read the CT’s voluminous column inches surrounding the case of the deceased dog, it certainly seems like overkill to me.

Well, overcooked anyway.

But would you want national media coverage to advertise your plight, or would you just settle for the money?

This was old news… didn’t this happen like a week or two ago? If that happened to my dog there would be hell to pay.
