[Gpdd] MISC. Re: NO FLY PIGS

[zcan at comcast.net]

Hi-
A few years back, someone mentioned that they flew with their piggies 
in the cabin, with proper reservations and all (quite nec. for animals) 
for a *rabbit*. Story was: the airline personnel hardly looked in the 
carrier and one who did commented on the unusual looking rabbit. This 
person said it was a rare breed, or something like that. Heh heh. I 
suppose these days, NOTHING goes unnoticed at the airport. And of 
course, one would risk not being able to make the flight if the piggies 
couldn't go.  (I also have a friend whose father put her hamster in his 
sport jacket pocket when they made a plane trip …long time ago. Tee 
hee, can't you see a little nose with whiskers peeking out?)

I *do* know that a friend of mine flew to FL with her piggies within 
the past couple of years. You have to check the rules of each airline 
specifically.

I don't understand the airlines reason for denying rodents. Can anyone 
explain?
