Dog Rescued At Sea In Japan
Many thanks to the Japanese again, for saving

UAL Dog Policy Changes
BREAKING NEWS:
Hawai'i Woman's Petition Changes UAL DOG POLICY !
A Hawai'i woman's online petition prompted United Airlines
to change its policy and allow nine breeds of dogs to fly on United flights. Kailua resident Jessie Huart started the petition after her 10-year old pit bull was denied travel because of the breed - Pit Bull.
"...I am thrilled that United listened to their customers..." Huart said in a news release. "...this change is a victory for responsible dog owners everywhere at a time when many are
facing breed discrimination..."
Chicago-based United, which merged with Continental Airlines, adopted Continental's PetSafe program on March 3. It has a number of perks for flying dogs and cats.
But the program also used what critics called "canine profiling." Restricting dogs from flying on United flights based solely on their breed...a restriction the former United Airlines didn't have.
The restricted breeds were Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Ca de bou Cane Corso, Dogo Argentino, Fila Brasileiro, Perro de Presa Canario, and Tosa Ken.
Huart's online petition at Change.org, received nearly 46,000
signatures.
In response, United changed its policy, effective April 24.
It no longer bans the nine breeds, but requires them to be transported in reinforced crates. As a result of feedback, United will now accept previously restricted breeds of dogs,
"...United said in a statement..." However, the dogs must be in
a non-plastic, reinforced crate that meets certain container requirements.
The following photographs
should better help you recognize
the restricted breeds UAL banned until the petition changed the "flying world" for these dogs:
