(You can also place your name and # in a corner of the sign) I found it to be of some help to put a card on the crate saying the owner was a lawyer. I have sued a few airlines, and won. One was when the make-up artist for Chuck Norris fell in an airplane bathroom. They brought a bathroom into the court. We won. The other was Alaska airlines. They left the top obedience bitch on the runway, and she went deaf. We won that one too. While I do think we need to work with the airlines, we also need to make sure they understand that we value our cargo, and that we will not sit back and stand for indifference. I have found it to be a people problem. If you take names, and have someone in charge, it is a lot easier, and the results seem better. It is too bad that the airlines have found it often easier to mistreat animals, but when they decide to no longer ship animals, we will adjust. While they offer to take our money, we must demand fair treatment, and give them the same in response.
