For those that take the animal out of their carrier, they're not following the rules. For animals that defecate and cause a smell, that can usually be quickly cleaned up .....
While we are at it we can ban all of the above too! (Perhaps not the "self important business people", I think I am one of those). I used to say for years all small children (including my own) should be rounded up at the airport, detained until you had a whole plane load, and then send them on a seperate flight!
More seriously: How is animal defecation on a flight an acceptable practice? Why do I have to tolerate it?
(I'll leave it to to others to revive the stink shield conversation)
Puddles,
Fluffy and / or
Sales Weasels (oh, wait... I am definately one of those!) should not be on a plane.
