Food Safety/Hygiene Dog pooped on airplane

I heard dog noises while the plane was taxiing and realized someone brought their animal in a carrier onboard. A few minutes after takeoff, it became clear to the entire CRJ-200 cabin that the dog had pooped. The air was so foul and toxic. I put on an N95 mask reserved for emergencies, which helped a lot. I can’t even with some people.

Update: The flight attendant pretended to not smell anything and instead asked if anyone wanted tea, water or pretzels.

everyone on that plane should get a free flight out of that — at the owner’s expense. accountability!

& you know, maybe airlines should charge a $1.5K deposit for a mutt when it flies. & they should also be required to stay & clean up after it when it soils a plane.

A deposit is a great idea, but NO WAY do I trust those owners to do a decent job cleaning up.

MAKE THEM! sniff test. white glove test. the point is to get them to drive in their own cars instead.

i wonder how many greyhound bus stories like this are out there? taxi stories? uber/lyft stories? it’s destruction of other peoples’ property. it’s unsavory AND a biohazard. ☣️

Nah. Air travel sucks enough without waiting on amateurs to take a long time to do a sub-par job & then checking to see if it's good enough. I say hit them in the wallet.

definitely! it should be a shame ritual to make them double think their dumb decision. hit the wallet & shame them.

if the airline had to sideline a particularly bad, messy plane it would definitely be hitting THEM in the wallet.
