I agree the airline has a responsibilty to ship that animal safely! I have never shipped an animal and would never, but some people have no choice, due to moving or traveling far away, not all people can drive for long periods of time or have someone to watch there precious baby while away. So I believe that any airline that accepts live animals should have trained staff to care and transport the animals, including an on call vet, otherwise don't accept live cargo. I also agree that you should always get insurance on your pet just in case. It won't fix the heartache but it will help with out of pocket expenses! |
