The hold should have held some heat even without the climate control, just from the mass in the hold that would (was supposed) to be at reasonable temperature. Fifty minutes after the plane was scheduled to land, the new owners were handed a stone cold kitten. I wonder if Snickers would have gotten that cold even sitting on the runway outside the plane in that length of time.The Lee County Clowderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02745490690252097351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91155609234534103.post-29499149074080840672011-01-27T20:36:49.354-08:002011-01-27T20:36:49.354-08:00I'm just very sad because of the loss of the k...I'm just very sad because of the loss of the kitten.Sweet Purrfectionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06186515275952115797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91155609234534103.post-32093168091246178062011-01-27T20:26:55.120-08:002011-01-27T20:26:55.120-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sweet Purrfectionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06186515275952115797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91155609234534103.post-40719463664449696282011-01-27T16:21:57.438-08:002011-01-27T16:21:57.438-08:00Alexi needs to stop trolling and hurting people...Alexi needs to stop trolling and hurting people's feelings. Does Alexi not realize that we <b>know</b> that veterinarian certificates are required? I don't care if my pet is purebred or DSH/DLH. I only want them traveling the safest way possible. What part of the cargo door was jammed and couldn't be opened for <b>fifty</b> minutes <b>and</b> that the container stops being climate controlled when the plane shuts down (but doesn't tell people that) does Alexi not get?? Delta MUST come up with contingency plans to keep the climate controls up and running regardless of if the plane is in air or on the ground.

Did you realize that animals must have a health certificate to travel and it states to what temperatures the animal is acclimated. Why in the world a vet sign off on this thing and why would anyone ship a kitten in such cold temperatures?? . We have gotten kittens from Moscow Russis in late December. That breeder ONLY used KLM because of the heated,climate controlled holds. There is information missing.... something that we are not being told. I don't think we are getting the whole story. I suspect the buyer was so desperate that they bullied the breeder in to shipping the kitten. If I had been the person shipping the kitten, I would have told the buyer, shipping is delayed because of temperatures. NOTHING would have changed my mind- period.Alexihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09222877183938209659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91155609234534103.post-46526466190129416322011-01-27T04:01:15.333-08:002011-01-27T04:01:15.333-08:00We agree 100%.

I am sure the owner and breeder both wish they had done things differently, but it is NOT their fault that Delta did not live up to it's responsibilities to keep the cat in a climate controlled environment and to quickly deliver it to the owner after landing as promised.AFSocksScyllahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09914229175168406951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91155609234534103.post-13387571284461529272011-01-27T01:01:02.800-08:002011-01-27T01:01:02.800-08:00I agree completely.

Their attitude of "it's just a dog" and "everything has a price" made me furious. <br />I do hold Delta Airlines responsible for Snickers' death, with or without my own experience. <br />Anyone with half a point of IQ could see that poor kitten would be more subject to the cold than most animals, due to lack of fur. I had a Devon Rex and live in Houston TX, a warm climate. He could wear a sweater year round and not complain. I imagine a Sphynx would be even more cold-natured.<br />I cannot comprehend that anyone would blame the breeder over this, and it seems that the breeder had a long and uneventful relationship with Delta before this unspeakable tragedy happened.<br />Put the blame squarely where it belongs...
