I know you can't compare an animal to a child but I would have rather had a dog barking in the seat in back of me. I know this post makes me look like a hard hearted person but I could not wait to get off that plane. |
No I totally get it. I don't have kids myself but young siblings & cousins who I am close to. It can be hard with a young child! I do sympathize with parents that have a screaming baby on board and are trying to stop it but they won't. It's gotta be miserable. But like you said it's misery for everyone else on board too. It is like nails on a chalk board to me to have a screeching baby
AND I get it -- humans are > than animals in this world we live in so of course they get priority. But it definitely doesn't seem fair to at least not have more OPTIONS for pet owners. More and more people are having pets instead of children. I think they're missing the boat actually... they'd likely receive a lot more business. I'd be all for child-free flights too.
