Dog dies on United Airlines Flight

[Catherine]

A passenger paid for her dog to board a United Airlines flight. The dog was in a carrier. All should have been well. 
It was not! The flight attendant insisted the dog in the carrier be placed in the overhead bin rather than under the seat. Under the seat is where animals are normally placed during flights. When the plane landed the dog was dead.

Overhead bins are not the place for live animals. The dog had no water. I doubt there was much air and who knows what the temperature was in that small enclosed space.

The airline is accepting responsibility for the death and has apologized, but this is not the first pet death on a United Airlines flight.  Last year 18 animals died while in the care of United Airlines. There were only six deaths last year on all other US airlines  combined.

United Airlines is clearly not taking pet safety seriously. That is a lot of dead pets in one year. 
If you have a pet, choose any other airline and you increase your pets chances of survival greatly.
They should be made to do more than say they are sorry. Sorry doesn't bring back a beloved pet.
