Regarding air filtration.
Following your logic, no-one ever got an illness from a plane, because the air got filtered, right?

This is asinine, do you people not understand that some poeple have such violent reaction to pet dander/hair that they can die from the reaction, it is not just a little inconvenience from a stuffy nose. Having the pets in the cargo compartment should be the best people could expect. Why people are traveling with their pets in the first place is another question, would anyone mind me bringin my goat on-board a plane? It is housetrained, sits still and is actually hypoallergenic. Sure it has a little odor, but not any worse than your fido or fluffy. No? Why not? You bring a completely useless animal with you, that could perfectly well have been left at home or with a friend. You're moving you say, really, unless you're moving overseas 95% of people move in their cars driving to their new location. People in this country treat their pets like family-members, well I got news for you, they are NOT! I know a lot of people miss their kids so they get a pet as replacement, or they decided not to have kids, and then they feel lonely as they age, well such is life. The whole attitude towards pets is sick, we have no problem seeing starving people arround the word and we do nothing about it, but we turn arround and spend tons of monney feeding a useless pet. Unless you plan on eating you pet down the road, what measurable purpose did it serve? These days the raw-materials going into pet food is of high enough quality that it is fit for human consumption, yet there are starving kids in our midst. If you're consirned with your carbon-footprint, having a pet is the largest hypocrisy out there, get a pet goat or pig, atleast you can eat it when it gets ready for the slaughter. Petowners are about as considderate as smokers used to be in the 50'ties smoking next to children and sick people. Oh you're choughing your lung out, not my problem, right?
