>
>On the ABC news web site, there is a survey currently being taken
>as to whether pets should be allowed to fly in the passenger
>compartment of  airplanes.  At the moment, less than 900 votes have been
>recorded and the result is about 52% "NO".
>
>Perhaps if each dog fancier voted, we could alter the results in
>our favor  in case anyone looks at the results or wants to use them as
>"fact".   Some airlines are considering plans to force all dogs to fly
>as
>baggage or cargo.  Results of this survey might influence them.
>
>This is at www.abcnews.com, then go to the travel section.  The
