Actually, the front bin is for containers. They don't like putting animals in containers, so they usually end up putting them in the back bin. Either way, it is risky but it is extremely noisy and scary for a person much less an animal. If one can have their pet fly in cabin, they should. If it isn't an option, the pet shouldn't go on the trip or one should use one of the pet flyer services especially for pets. IF you can't fly in Cargo, a pet shouldn't. I don't know why you think that Cargo is not noisy - evidently you don't work in the industry because anyone that does would never subject an animal to it.

However, the noise level is the same or lower in the cargo area, depending on which cargo the pet is located in. The correct bin is the front bin. Some pets have been incorrectly put in the rear, non climate controlled bin and that is where the accidents that you are speaking of, have occured. When pets travel they are just as safe as you and I, unfortunately accidents happen sometimes and pets die.
