Neither do I, but there has been no such hostility displayed in this particular thread. (Yet.) Furthermore, these fees are not at all a reflection of "hostility," but just a way for the airlines to get additional revenues from people who think the fees are "worth it" to be able to travel with their pet (and/or can't avoid paying the fees, e.g. if they are moving).

So... while there's plenty of hostility around, and I also don't "get it," this thread isn't about such hostility, nor are these fees an example of such, IMHO. Given that, I don't think this thread is really the place to discuss that...
