D'Elle Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I got this information from someone I know in BC Rescue in California. The United Airlines online store is now selling "45 different breeds of pure bred and designer puppies" that you can order online and pay for with mileage points. Here is the link: Potomac Kennels I think that UA should get a barrage of letters and emails and phone calls to get them to stop this. I am posting this to all the dog people I know and urging them to take some kind of action. Here is a link to a place where you can write to them to protest: Contact UA This is an excerpt from a couple of online reviews of Potomac kennels: "Please let me describe the surroundings: you walk into the store, and the stench hits you immediately. But maybe you a willing to forgive that because it is a petstore and there would be smells anyway. But the dogs are keep in the back, in a closed room, where you can view then from a large glass window. Why, then, is the stench so overpowering, even though these animals are keep so far back behind closed doors? The cages they are kept in are stacked on top of each other, with feces stuck to the bottom of the cages and the animals feet. There seemed ... The negative reviews here have been more than right. We've been going to Potomac Kennels for a couple months... the squalid surroundings … the stench hits you immediately…The cages they are kept in are stacked on top of each other, with feces stuck to the bottom of the cages and the animals feet… There seemed to be a week's worth of filth collecting in each tray under each puppy's cage." Of course, please cross-post this information. It would be good for UA to get a message about what they are promoting. D'Elle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiba Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 "All of our puppies are current with their vaccinations, come with health guarantees and training." Puppies that come with training? No way! How can anyone be stupid enough to believe this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoresDog Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Ugh, that is horrible. They are shipping in puppies from Missouri to sell in their store, where the puppies get sick because the hygiene is so bad. If they weren't sick already coming from the puppy mill in Missouri. United will hear from us. My husband has over 2 million actual flight miles on United, so maybe they will hear him. Maybe. Gaahhh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rave Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I wonder if they're selling any pit-bull type dogs, since they now ban those breeds from flying with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfaircloth Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
