Because the last time someone argued with a United flight attendant, they got beaten up and dragged off the plane by the police

The bag looks like it might be a pet carry case but it's hard to tell from the photo  I wouldn't put it past dumbasses to try and smuggle a dog onto a plane in a regular bag to try and avoid paying an additional pet carrying fee.

Hey let's breed a dog that can barely breath! oh no, it died from not breathing! United!  Anybody who intentionally breeds dysfunctional dogs believes they are entitled to the animals suffering because it's fun to look at. gently caress them.

That flight attendant is getting so fired in any possible scenario and their only real hope is that they can sue for unemployment because they felt training didn't cover why you shouldn't put living things in overhead bins. They'll also probably be able to avoid civil liability that way. Liability might further be extended to United and or whoever signed off on their seating layout if this all sprung up because no one figured out how to get the (FAA approved) pet carrier under the seat cause it's slightly cutting corners on allowed under seat storage. United is going to get off with just the media ding in most ways this plays out.

Shut the New Extended 3 Hour Edition the gently caress up. Once you've done that, put the bonus disc in, click on the deleted fucks and shut those the gently caress up. And once you've finishing shutting the physical gently caress up, redeem the code on the back, download the digital fucks from Amazon and shut those up. Shut your free 30 day trial the gently caress up. And once your mouth has recessed into itself with such force from shutting the gently caress up that your entire digestive system collapses into a black hole, shut the gently caress up one more time. For the betterment of humanity.

How about we all agree that every human involved in this story is a shithead to some degree. The flight attendant is a shithead for obvious reasons. The dog owner is a shithead for supporting the breeding of dogs that are basically born to suffocate for cosmetic reasons and for not standing up for their pet. An ugly, defective, but ultimately innocent dog died as a result of these two poo poo winds meeting and creating a poo poo tornado.

ok, what if they adopted the pug from a kill shelter or something. not everybody with a hosed up dog got it because it was a cute puppy not saying the odds are any which way but simply having a weird dog doesn't necessarily indicate much about the owner's motives

If owing a pug is supporting their breeding, how exactly do you suggest we not support it? Do we just leave them all in kill shelters and wait for them to die out? Like these dogs are still going to exist if they don't get homes. They're not just going to suddenly disappear or turn into a perfectly sustainable breed that can breathe easily if nobody owns them.

Uh, don't purposely breed more? And most dogs disappear 10-15 years after birth. HTH.

I think they'll eventually die out on their own if nothing changes, purebred pugs really aren't sustainable as a breed: quote:In 2008, an investigative documentary carried out by the BBC found significant inbreeding between pedigree dogs, with a study by Imperial College, London, showing that the 10,000 Pugs in the UK are so inbred that their gene pool is the equivalent of only 50 individuals.

Rescuing a dog is one thing, and that's fine since most rescues spay or neuter the dogs, so you're just rescuing that one dog and not breeding more. But buying a pug from a breeder is a different thing, and if people would stop buying pugs from breeders, then they'd probably stop breeding them.

No we must suffocate all existing pugs in front of their owners because they deserve it for actually loving their little mutant freak dog. Now while I have your attention I also have several opinions about the disabled

It's me, I'm the one offended that you compared intentionally breeding dogs to look a certain way to people with disabilities.

My sister is an attendant for United; her professional opinion is that attendant was 'a loving dumbass', and this was before the other dudes post about it. There are reasonable places to put a pet carrier even on a crowded flight.

shortspecialbus posted:Discussion of airplane chutes tends to lead to enormous argumentative derails for whatever reason it's basically the same argument you get with seatbelts, motorcycle helmets, anti-lock brakes, or any other safety equipment -- one side says "it's a safety feature, it can only make the activity safer" while the other says "no it encourages unsafe behavior/lack of training/overconfidence in newbies." also the against-side will often bring up some unbelievably implausible failure mode as "evidence" that the safety feature is actually less safe (e.g. seatbelts will cut off your head).
