(5,611 posts)pets too, despite promising the people who paid extra for special care (some paid in the thousands) that their pet would receive personal attention including water, vet attention if needed, and release from its cage for a bit of exercise with a private handler. Yep, it didn't happen, and one woman recorded her dog being left outside for hours (as the plane sat for something like six hours waiting for several "mechanical" checks) in his plastic carrier in 90 plus degree heat with NO WATER and no release. Periodically a baggage guy kicked the dog's carrier. The dog very nearly died and needed emergency vet care (which the owner paid for not United). United offered her some vouchers. Other animals have died, and people have been blatantly lied to about what happened to their animals. United sucks.
United sucks. People smearing the doctor and excusing this monstrous behavior imho don't belong on DU. I find it extremely weird that they want to post to a site like DU in the first place.
