If you think that's bad... I've seen Oceanic lose a dead body that was being transported back to LA for a wake.

To me losing my dog would be worse. I could live with a family members corpse getting lost, I might be in the minority there - but losing my dog would break my heart.

They also lost a bunch of knives in a suitcase on that very same flight. :sneaky:

Ever read the contract on your ticket? It says they are only responsible for lost luggage or pets upto X amount and that it is normally given in vouchers.

Sure it sucks they lost the dog, but to expect more is asking for something you are not entitled to. But don't let my powers of common sense get in the way of people rabble rousing about the bad evil corporation being all corporationy.

I don't think they were expecting more money but how about looking for the dog. You are retarded.

That's a stupid policy. They should refund the $200, not give a voucher.

Yeah, I wouldn't expect the airline to give anything more than a refund on the shipping fee, MAYBE a partial compensation for lost property (but only if the owners really made a stink about it), but a credit is crazy. It's not like they'll ever give Delta their business again. If I found a severed mouse head in a box of corn flakes, last thing I'd want is more corn flakes!

Delta should do more than just refund the money. By taking money initially and by agreeing to take the dog (or luggage), they accept responsibility for the items and they should be held accountable for when shit gets lost on their watch.

If they would have read the contract they signed by purchasing the ticket and animal transportation, that's all they are owed. Damn entitlement mentality.

Just because it's in the contract doesn't meant that its legally enforceable. And burying shit in such contracts so that they can wiggle out of anything is bullshit.

Yes, you are in fact retarded.
No, really. I'm not kidding. That you thing losing a living creature is perfectly fucking acceptable and corporations need to be protected from people who get abused by them is terrifically retarded.

I believe he's of the mindset that corporations are more important than people, and that our only real purpose is to generate more money for them.
 
I think I might lose it and kill the first random Delta airlines person I saw if that happened to me. Someone would have to pay after that.

Pot, meet kettle...kettle, meet pot. Here's news for you, sheephumper...at least many of Spidey's retarded ramblings show some thought was put into the rambling; no matter how off-base and incoherent the thoughts may be. Most of yours and your equally hated and inbred sibling's posts show about as much thought as that of a monkey in a vegetative state.

If it's in a vegetative state, does it really make a difference whether it's a monkey or a human?
 
I think that putting animals in the baggages is retarted.
It's way too easy to lose luggage.

You can carry it with your hand baggage, or you leave it home.
In any case you wouldn't normally carry up a dog when traveling and taking it back home...
there's plenty of other dog in canada for sure.

they did something stupid and they were unlucky.
 
If an airline lost my pet and that was how they offered recompense the CEO of the airline would lose something important to him. Either his wife, his kids or his nads, whichever I can get at most easily.
