I may not be a big poster here at FT and I guess I am still considered a newbie because I have only been around for a little over a year, but I must say I am mystified by this proposal. I do have pets, and while I haven't had to travel with them I certainly appreciate a forum where I can find information respective to that. I have not posted in that forum, but have read it.
IMHO, the original post seems a bit disrespectful.
