hoke Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 http://www.cnn.com/2002/TRAVEL/NEWS/08/29/cat.airline.lawsuit.ap/index.htmlI personally agree with the couple's decision to sue (though the CNN poll is yielding completely opposite results). I don't know how much I would sue for if I were in their shoes, but pets are like members of the family, and it's simply not acceptable that an airline would "lose" an animal...

tastyt Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 5 million is mildly insane , but I don't know what worth you could attach to your pet... he's such a beautiful kitty too; if my little guy ever got lost like that I don't know what I'd do about it. That's just inexcusable.On the lighter side of things... Hell... you gotta love it... the cat's name is FU! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatman Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 "Upon arrival in San Francisco, Fu's crate had a large hole in a corner, the front door was broken and open, and the cat was gone, the claim said. "...who's to say Fu didnt make a break for it after 15 years......during this past summer many carriers had an embargo on shipping pets as cargo...this incident will only worsen the situation...there are people that go to unbelievable lengths to travel with their pets, albeit dogs, cats, birds...i say, kennel them up if you can but i've got clients that will not travel unless their pet can too...

somebitch Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 that is ridiculous. if you choose to bring your animal on an airplane you should realize that something can go wrong.. just as peoples luggage gets lost. if they win ill buy an animal and make some friends at the baggage handling, ill give them a mil to lose my animal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr0ne Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 for 5 mil i could eat cutesy cat meat burgers for breakfast lunch and dinner for a few lifetimes, as well as hire concumbines to have wild orgies with me, my cats, and lots of drugs to go with that. seriously 5 mil is a lot of money for a human nevermind a fucking feline. chances are kiddy kat is roaming the streets, meeting new kittens, partying like a motherfucker, and snorting tons of clean uncut cocaine....why would he ever wanna go back to these people anyway? i sure wouldn't.

NO FUCKING WAY!!! An animal is not a piece of luggage!!! Obviously shit happens, but that doesn't mean you should sit around with your thumb up your ass when it does!

somebitch Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 im not saying do nothing but shit does happen. if you left your cat at your bestfriends place and it ran out the door, would you sue her for 5 mil?? if your cat had a surgery and died in the process would you sue the vet.?? i dont know... there are so many unwanted cats out there, just because this one had an owner doesnt mean it is somehow worth 5 million dollars.

But it was these people's JOBS to have safely transported the cat and returned it to it's owner... it's not your friend's JOB to keep her door shut... and of course anything can happen on the operating table, as long as it wasn't negligent, the vet wouldn't be at fault...As for the last statement, I will just reiterate what Phatman said, I know I couldn't say it any nicer... ...wow...def. not a pet owner...
