Please read the story of our beloved Kransky, a happy, healthy 6 year old French Bulldog. Please sign his petition so that no other animal will die a torturous, senseless death. Thanks and kind regards,

Heartbreaking... and really no answers? No one has taken responsibility? I am emailing http://www.animaltravel.com.au now asking for them to go on the record and explain what happened.

The reply came


As the owner of a pet website, one would expect that you would not get involved and would remain neutral regarding something like this written by a bitter owner

The blog is incorrect on many many levels and it would be in your best interest to remove any reference to the blog

You may or may not be aware but this was a Brachycephalic breed and high risk.

The owner selfishly refused to take our professional advice to leave the dog at home as he was only taking the dog for a 6 month holiday and as you may not be aware it is not as easy as taking your dog on a flight and flying it to a Category 4 country and then flying it back and picking it up from the airport. Lot more to it than that but most people do not realise that

The owner signed all the necessary documents and waivers with the total understanding that the dog was a very high risk as it was an old dog for the breed

The dog along with 2 other pets were prepared and processed normally for international travel by us and the airline and the other pets arrived at their destinations without incident

One has to question why the owner refused point blank to have an autopsy done when 3 AQIS accredited vets urged him strongly to do so as there are many reasons how this incident could have happened

The owner has taken our company to court and the case was dismissed once the CTT footage was viewed as it was clear that our company was not at fault in the incident and the owner was so quick to get rid of any evidence

The owner is now being investigated by the police for threatening the airline

We have shipped many brachycpehalic breeds overseas before and since that time without issue and Animal Travel has been in operation since 1984 and this is the first incident of this kind we have ever been involved in so our record speaks for itself

I will be passing this email onto our lawyer as we are currently seeking damages from the owner for defamation and any other person or company that makes derogatory comments about our company

The police will also received this email and will be checking your website. The police are investigating anyone that is harassing us as cyber bullying is a criminal offence

We do not wish for any further correspondence with you as the incident happened a long time ago and every time we receive these emails it only brings back distressing memories of that day and the subsequent dealings with the owner, court case etc

Kind regards
