Should the airline cabins be closed for pets?

            According to Donald F. Stark, pets should not be allowed in the cabins. The biggest reason connects with the patients suffering from asthma and pet allergies. Such patients don’t need to physically touch the pet to feel effects, being in the same room or area is enough to trigger the effects. Moreover, there is no solution to the dander of both cats and dogs. Merely changing the seats in the airplane doesn’t help such patients. Another issue that strengthens the point is the hygiene of pets. Once owners take the pets out of their cages, it exposes them to all the passengers with pet allergies.

            Meanwhile, KC Theisen tells that restricting pets to the cargo holds is not suitable. There are many cases when pets were not able to survive due to being restricted to the cargos of planes. While leaving the pets behind is a choice but it doesn’t work when it requires permanent moving out from a specific place. Banning the pets from cabins is not a good solution for alleviating the problem of allergic. However, different alternatives such as getting information whether pets are being carried or not and seating far away from the pets can be utilized. Pets should be allowed in the carriers with their owners.
