OFFICIAL PETITION AGAINST THE CJEU RULING OF 16/10/25 IN THE MONA´S CASE 

MONA WAS NOT LUGGAGE, SHE WAS A SENTIENT BEING.

Mona was not luggage, she was a sentient being.

In 2019, a little dog named Mona escaped from Iberia’s custody during boarding on a flight to Madrid. She was caught shortly after, but got lost a second time after escaping from the Buenos Aires airport facilities where she had been kept.

Mona’s family took legal action all the way to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). But the Court ruled this Thursday that pets are not excluded from the concept of “luggage.”

In other words, airlines can treat our animals as objects and are not required to pay extra compensation for their loss beyond what is legally provided for lost luggage.

Sign here, please, so this changes and our animals are treated as sentient beings, not as suitcases, when we fly.

At Flytogether, we want to BREAK THE VICIOUS AND CRUEL CYCLE that perpetuates abuse against our animals during air travel.

And it is up to society to break it. By mobilizing, raising our voices, and demanding an immediate update to the Montreal Convention to include domestic animals as sentient beings with rights in case of an accident.

Just because it’s legal doesn’t mean it’s right.

MONA WAS NOT LUGGAGE, SHE WAS A SENTIENT BEING.

Thank you to everyone who shares! This is just the beginning.
