[nagdu] Service Dog's 'evacuation' forces emergencylanding ofUS Airways flight to PHL

[Cindy Ray via nagdu]

Well, I think t he whole thing is more because they ran out of equipment to handle the situation and had to land in Kansas City. In rethinking it, I think I have to be understanding after reading Liz’s and Greg’s messages. If you are going to get a report, then you have to interview. If you interview, people will take full advantage of the opportunity to interview and say things. The whole incident was an unfortunate load that got unloaded and so I am not sure there was all that much hostility toward the dog or its handler. And, of course, people who don’t have kids and who either don’t have dogs, don’t like dogs, and/or don’t use dogs as service dogs are likely to know all about how the dogs are to be cared for and what should have been done, etc. If it was a child, the same thing would have actually happened. And really, mostly people fussed about the inconvenience and the stench. I might well have done the same thing.

And with the media taking a story and melking it for what ever they can get out of it! Well! And, we don't know if the dog happened to be not feeling good or what! This stuff shouldn't even be news worthy! I mean, clean it up and go on!
