Perhaps he was mistaken as normal cabin pressurization is not equivalent to that at sea level. At cruise altitudes between 35K and 40K feet the internal pressure is equal to that of about 8K feet. Some breeds of dogs and cats are not tolerant of lower air pressure which can cause respiratory distress and death. There are certain breeds which airlines will not carry because of this.
Injury to and death of animals transported on commercial airlines have to be reported to the DOT. As with people it is still safer to fly. Statistically your dog or cat is more likely to be injured, killed, or run away while you drive it to or from your destination than it is to have the same thing happen while being transported by airplane. |
