Why This Is Important
United and Continental Airlines have merged and United has adopted Continental's discriminatory pet policies. The airline's PetSafe program enforces a pet policy with a Dangerous Dog Breed Restriction, which defines a dangerous dog solely by his breed. This restriction prevents responsible owners of Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, and several other breeds from flying with their pets on United Airlines.United Airlines is the only airline in the U.S. with a breed-specific dangerous dog restriction. Both the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) oppose such breed-specific policies. A dog is an individual with his own unique personality and should be judged based on temperament, not on appearance or breed.
Please sign this petition to let Jeff Smisek, CEO of United Airlines, know you do not agree with their discrimination and that you encourage them to remove the breed restriction in their dangerous dog policy.
