Why this petition matters

Started by Hellen Kiguradze

Dogs with respiratory problem over 7kgs are not allowed to the plane cabin because of the airline policy. 

This law is unfair towards bulldogs, pugs and other short-nosed dogs that mostly gain weight before 1.5 years and can be 8-15 kgs. These type of dogs mostly die if not kept on cabin. Because of their anatomical abnormalities, short-nosed breeds seem to be more vulnerable to changes in air quality and temperature in the cargo hold of a plane. Although pets are transported in pressurized cargo holds and get much the same air that the passengers in the cabin do, the air circulation might not be ideal.
Laws has to be changed to let short-nosed dogs fly on cabin despite weight, because this is the only way to survive long distance travelling with owner. People who have to change living locations, career changes and so on face a lot of challenges as they cannot organize suitable transportation for their beloved pets.
If this petition wins a lot of owners and pets will be free to travel around together and pets will not have to suffer long goodbyes with their owners. these type of animals are very emotional and sometimes cannot survive being abandoned or left by the owner. 

PLEASE HELP SHORT NOSED PETS AND THEIR OWNERS TO HAVE ABILITY SHARE MORE QUALITY TIME TOGETHER.
