[quote]The company said it was investigating the incident.
It appears that the animals died from heatstroke after the plane was delayed on the tarmac for about an hour. When they were removed from the hold they were listless. The puppies were taken to a vet but later died.
Airline spokesman Mary Frances Fagan said that a shipping company had put 14 puppies aboard Flight 851, which was scheduled to leave Tulsa at 6:30am but was delayed for an hour by storms in Chicago.
American Airlines said on its website that it won't carry warm-blooded animals if the actual or forecast temperature is above 85F (29C). As the plane sat on the tarmac in Tulsa, it was already 86 degrees before 7am, according to the National Weather Service.
Miss Fagan said cargo holds carrying animals are routinely kept between 50F and 70F.
Baggage handlers taking the puppies to a kennel area at O'Hare Airport grew concerned because they looked lethargic. Employees tried to cool down the dogs, and they were taken to a vet's office, but five died initially and two others died later, Miss Fagan said.
Several of the puppies were headed to connecting flights.
In guidelines to customers, American says it reserves the right to refuse to ship aggressive animals or one that "does not appear fit to travel." It also says it won't take dogs or cats that have been sedated. It asks shippers about each animal's breed, size and age.
Miss Fagan said dogs and cats must be at least eight weeks old. She said she didn't know the breed or breeds of the dead puppies.
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals recommends that owners only put a pet on a plane if it's small enough to fit under a seat in the passenger cabin. [/quote]

I swear if anyone brings up the whole "Why don't we care as much about the *human death incident* argument, I'm going to fucking rage.

it's pretty vague on who the owners are, that's kinda strange.
sad stuff though, heat stroke is a terrible way to go.

Death of one is a tragedy the death of a million is a statistic.
Who gives a fuck, people die everyday, so do dogs, kittens, snakes, spiders birds everything.
7 puppies/people/snakes/midgets is a flash in the pan.

doesn't change the fact that it's sad as hell
So?
Thousands of people in your country alone are in so much pain they have to be drugged up to their eyeballs of cocktails of heroin, morphine and other drugs thanks to cancer.
There are mothers with meninjitis who are going to die, and never see their kids walk.
Life is a cruel bitch and worse shit happens than fucking puppies dying in the cargo hold of a fucking plane, which incidentally happens regularly to my knowledge.
Aw. :(
A dog can get a heatstroke by being in a hot temperature area for only 15 minutes, they really should've been more careful.

Oh stop taking yourself so seriously, this is adorable puppies we're talking about

It's not sad. You feel sad before you were told about the puppies, and you think that you should be sad. They are goddamn puppies, dime a dozen. When a last animal in extincting race dies, it's really sad. When a dog who served among policemen/army/rescue teams who saved a lot of lives dies, it's sad. You are all driven by a twisted form maternal instinct which is kind of spread in today populace.
Really, 7 stupid puppies dying in cargo of plane are completely unimportant, and even if they were mine as if I was their owner who planned to sell them, I wold go "Damn, lost some money down there", but that would be everything.

I find little chickens much more adorable than puppies, and I eat their kin pretty much weekly. Adorableness isn't an important attribute.

Yeah.
Fucking puppies, there are millions and they're all replacable.
Don't get me wrong it's shit that they died, but there's so much worse shit that could happen.

you are a sociopath and terrible person in general
Nobody cares if other people die we hear that crap everyday. Being sad about some leetle puppiez is much more satisfying.

You're retarded and lack a sense of humour in general.

Of course, but that's not relevant to this thread as there is always something worse that can happen
