The point is it is wrong to do it to the airline and all the person's fellow paying customers who are honest and pay for their dogs. It is the "deadbeat" as a stealer/cheater is often called that raises prices for every one in the long run as today's airlines mostly operate in the red due to high fuel, liability, cost of the plane and operating costs, not to mention employee salary/benefits/retirement/work-comp. The airlines know there are cheaters for dogs' services, so the honest people all pay more for dogs in the long run to cover the liability issues of having animals on board. The price for carrying the dog helps cover the liability for things like injury to the animal in flight accidents or sudden drops, animal bites, spraying for fleas, ticks from the canine, etc., so all with a canine should pay their fair share for their dog's presence on the trip. For goodness sake, they are getting their dog hauled across the world in the pressurized, temperature-controlled cabin in style and comfort - why wouldn't they think that was worth paying for? Is the dog worth so little to them that his air travel expenses aren't worth anything?
Don't you believe all should pay their fair share or should just some pay up while the freeloaders all coast and "save money"?
I never will understand the concept of some wanting to get something of great value for nothing while others pay. I'd be so proud my dog could ride easily and comfortably, I would gladly pay for his trip in the cabin.
