Simon was apparently alive on touchdown, but then the poor bun was supposedly put into a freezer after landing. Why anyone would think it was a good idea to put a rabbit into a freezer, who knows? This sounds like complete incompetence from one of the ground staff, bordering on (hopefully unintentional) animal abuse if you ask me.

United deny this at the moment at the bottom of the article, however it does appear he was alive on touchdown. I suppose it could be down to something like lack of food on the flight (or not eating from stress), as rabbits have very sensitive insides and any food deprivation can be fatal.

Are you sure it didn't die Midway to O'hare?

Still, I'm guessing that for 99% of cases it's safe and nothing wrong happens.[/QUOTE]

I don't care how safe it is, that's a fuck ton of stress and stress can be very very bad for animals
Especially rabbits. They especially don't like loud noise. I wouldn't be surprised if he had a heart attack, to be honest
