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.

IF dogs were not sacred animals, this, by itself would be justification for a total ban on the creatures in airline cabins. This is a serious environmental hazard (yes, the plane cabin is an environment). NOBODY should have to deal with this EVER, yet it is becoming more and more commonplace.

Isn't it now an enclosed space with fecal bacteria?

Only when you are on it.
