Air Canada to allow pets in the cabin..
Air Canada passengers can now carry on pets
I’m not sure about the exact details, but it seems like this applies to all flights. I can only hope that this doesn’t apply to international flights. While I’m aware that there are enough “it’s OK if my dog licks my face” pet owning hippie-vegan PETA membership holding animal rights activists in Canada to perhaps economically justify this move, the day a majority of the world thinks this way is the day that the world is ravaged by large herds of newly liberated livestock. It’s probably likely (and it’s definitely fitting) that these smug self righteous airheads probably supported the ban on indoor smoking in Canada while lobbying for the right to inconvenience and disturb others by bringing their animals into the passenger cabin. I wonder how things would go over if I were to light up a smoke to dampen the stench of their pets..
Now, in addition to the already pretty shoddy service that Air Canada provides, passengers can look forward to the possibility of smelling cat shit or listening to a dog yap throughout the flight. Rather than take the chance of this happening to me, I think I’ll just not fly Air Canada until they change this ridiculous policy – I’m ashamed that such an airline is given the right to use my country’s name.

I see you are not a pet person…
My parents took there cat (while it was still alive) and current dog when they do there mexico/calgary trek twice a year. The animal stays in a traveling bag (on the persons lap or under the seat), and is restricted to a pretty reasonable weight (we aren’t talking about hound dogs here). Passengers pay a fee to bring the pet onboard. I think generally most people are not that upset about the decision, and although it can reduce the happiness for some people (such as yourself), it is a huge relieve for pet owners (these pet owners aren’t hippies, they are retiring baby boomers). I’m all for it, suck it up bitch

You should read through some of the comments in the article that I posted. It’s got some real horror stories about animals in the passenger cabin – that might change your mind.
