I'm going by the article and what was said here about the length of time it takes to check in an animal. As I said, 20 minutes? Fine. 40 minutes? Maybe. More than that? No way. This program costs the airline absolutely nothing. The ones who are actually performing charitable acts are the pax who escort the dogs to the mainland, and those who are held up by the process. There are a lot of charities that vie for my time, attention and money. When I buy an airline ticket, I do not expect an airline to tell me, ex post facto, "You're going to give up an hour or two of your time to rescue dogs." As I said, I love dogs and don't like the idea of putting them down. However, I don't like being made an involuntary participant in a charity that I didn't choose.
