Breaking: US Airways flight 1549 crashes into Hudson River {Gadling}

I find your comment in very bad taste. I worked as a firefighter/medic for ten years and my job was to save lives. If your airline is taking money to fly animals (therefore taking responsibility for the animal while in flight) it would seem to be the job of the crew to try to save the life of the animal. Let me tell you vincent, I would not judge who or what I was saving, I was interested in saving all lives. This is a very good reason for all of you out there to NEVER fly your pets. If your pet it a service dog and has to fly with you I would insist that the airlines give you a written statement that in the event of a incident your pet will be looked after as if they were a human. Then I would make sure that if I were on Vincents flight that he was well aware of the statement and agreed to the statement.
