Certain dogs in hold damage aircraft

Found this on the Aer Lingus site .....

"Due to industry reports of serious damage to aircraft as a result of dogs becoming loose in aircraft holds, the following breeds of dogs are not to be carried under any circumstances on any Aer Lingus aircraft......"

Anyone have any idea what industry reports these are?

It looks like the OP was referring to the Aer Lingus pet policy, which excludes the following breeds: Akita, Dogo Argentino, Fila Brazillero, Mastiff, Pit Bull, and Tosa.

I have no idea about the industry reports, and IMHO Aer Lingus should be much more worried about how the dogs got loose, not excluding their carriage because of it.

I agree totally with your statement. This looks like a case of the cart pulling the donkey.

Not sure what carts pulling donkeys has to do with the question , which asked if anyone knew about the so-called industry reports. Thought this might be the forum where people might know and/or care about such reports

The link you demanded is here http://www.aerlingus.com/cgi-bin/obe...=2#specialmeal

It is quite obvious that I was replying to cepheid's statement about how the dogs might have gotten loose in the cargo hold which might be slightly OT but still relevant to this discussion.

Yes, the OP's question is still unanswered regarding industry reports.
