As a passionate dog lover and a person who has been an adamant supporter of four legged friends, Vanderpump shared data on airplane cabin altitude.
We know now that the pressure in an airline cabin is like altitude at 8k feet.
It is difficult for breeds like this.
But in a bin?! Wtf?— Lisa Vanderpump (@LisaVanderpump) March 14, 2018
As if we would EVER put one of our muffins in an airless bin?
What on earth kind of owner is that?
Both culpable.
Sickening.— Lisa Vanderpump (@LisaVanderpump) March 14, 2018
When the plane landed at LaGuardia Airport Monday night, the dog was deceased.
Airline officials have spoken out and admit it was a mistake. In a statement, United called the dog’s death a “tragic accident.”
“We assume full responsibility for this tragedy and express our deepest condolences to the family and are committed to supporting them,” the airline said in reply Tuesday to CNN’s request for comment about reports of the dog’s death. “We are thoroughly investigating what occurred to prevent this from ever happening again.”
Spokeswoman Maggie Schmerin said United has been in contact with the passenger who owned the dog and offered to pay for a necropsy, an autopsy for animals.
United allows pets in the cabin when they are transported in kennels that can fit under the seat. Some types of animals are prohibited from flying on any flight. Schmerin said this animal was not on that list.
