Those two stories involve airlines telling their guests to handle pets in a way that causes that pets demise.
Here's the thing, you as a human being have a choice. You have free will. If you were told that the animal could fly and have followed the rules that were given to you and then upon arrival things change, you challenge those in charge to make it right.
If they refuse, get off the plane or don't get on the plane. Why should you be forced to do something that you will regret later, knowing that what you are about to do is not or was not what was agreed to before getting to the airport.
Would missing that flight be an inconvenience? Most likely.
What would the trauma cost be of the lots of a pet's life?
