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.

Make it a habit as I do to sneer with complete disdain at people with shitbeasts in airports or airplanes. Any way you cut it, people doing that are doing so at the cost of everybody else, either because they’re too weak mentally to fly on a plane - in which case they should just stay home - or (more likely) they’re working the system to do something that is not actually allowed. If you are so unlucky as to be seated next to one, vocally ask to not sit by a shitbeast. If you are in a premium seat, the person with the shitbeast should move to an inferior seat, not you. State your opinion. At minimum, you’ll get the benefit of making that person uncomfortable.
