You might be right, but I think you are taking a leap with your logic. Sticking a living creature in an overhead locker is inhumane, and we don't need the power of hindsight to draw this conclusion. I do accept that as I wasn't there, there is some guesswork in my response to this incident. I am sure you would admit the same!

I am probably being a little harsh on the owner, but I can tell you that this wouldn't have happened on my watch.

I am not supporting UA at all. I saw those stats re animals, and they would tend to indicate there is a problem there.
