FORT WORTH, Texas — Seven puppies died after flying in the cargo hold of an American Airlines jet.

American said it contacted the shipper who put the puppies on a Tuesday morning flight from Tulsa, Okla., to Chicago, and is investigating further.

Airline spokeswoman Mary Frances Fagan said Wednesday the shipper put 14 puppies aboard Flight 851, which was scheduled to leave Tulsa at 6:30 a.m. but was delayed an hour by storms in Chicago.

American said on its website it won't carry warm-blooded animals if the actual or forecast temperature is above 85 degrees. As the plane sat on the tarmac in Tulsa, it was already 86 degrees before 7 a.m., according to the National Weather Service.

Fagan said cargo holds carrying animals are routinely kept between 50 and 70 degrees.

Baggage handlers taking the puppies to a kennel area at O'Hare Airport grew concerned because they looked lethargic. Employees tried to cool down the dogs, and they were taken to a vet's office, but five died initially and two others died later, Fagan said.

Several of the puppies were headed to connecting flights. Fagan declined to identify the shipper or say whether American had taken animals from the same shipper before and, if so, whether there had been problems with any previous flights.

"We don't disclose information about our shippers any more than we disclose information about our passengers," she said.

In guidelines to customers, American says it reserves the right to refuse to ship aggressive animals or one that "does not appear fit to travel." It also says it won't take dogs or cats that have been sedated. It asks shippers about each animal's breed, size and age.

Fagan said dogs and cats must be at least eight weeks old. She said she didn't know the breed or breeds of the dead puppies.

Last month, the U.S. Department of Transportation said short-faced dogs such as pugs and bulldogs accounted for about half of the 122 dogs that died during U.S. flights in the last five years. Veterinarians say those dogs are more likely to have breathing problems.

The department said the deaths were an extremely small percentage of the total number of pets carried by airlines.

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals recommends that owners avoid shipping pets in the cargo hold.

"I always hated signing those papers to ship them" in the cargo hold, said Rocky McKelvey, regional medical director in Texas for VCA Animal Hospitals and a veterinarian since 1981. "I'd like to see them in the cabin."

Hot August nights

With the hottest summer on record winding down, more animals then Noah ever saw have been abandoned and killed because of greed and ignorance.
In Dayton Ohio they found dogs left to starve in a basement weeks after the scumbags moved out. What kind of live organism does this to any animal?

More Warnings

Lake Elsinore California, another bullshit breeder claiming high % animals. Likely no Wolf % that matters.


PUPS PLUS, WOLFHUSKYPUPS, scam artists, ads everywhere. You won't get what you think.

JULY 10

After spending a week trying to find places for 38 animals dumped by a SC breeder, I received a message last night of another 45 due to another breeder in an illegal area.

Girl in Arkansas who seems to do nothing but reproduce, claims her Pure Wolf out of Canada has sired pups. Hmmm? Pure Wolves required import permits into Ark. as well as federal permits from out of the country. You cannot transport animals through almost any state without proper health certificates. If transporting a Wolf, each state Wildlife office must be notified of your date and route of transport.

Lying to sell puppies isn't a good idea.

Cries for help

Well I fully understand the basic idea of animal rights. People are surely cruel and useless. I cannot support the ways of these groups or the fact that they bilk millions from the public to pay huge salaries and never a penny helps any animal.

So, the people who do hands on rescue that have no time or means to solicit funds are spending their own money. What can we do about that?

Many small under funded charities are all around in every city and state. The public doesn't know about them because they have no means of promotion.

Operations like PETA, HSUS are taking in over 100 million a year,and never leave their air conditioned offices or pick up a pile of shit, or feed a bowl of dogfood, or offer any assistance in any disaster, even though they will make the public think they do!!!

After hurricane Katrina, PETA sent a few people in T Shirts to parade around and do nothing while Best Friends, Noah, and other rescue organizations did all of the work.
Peta made the public believe they actually rescued animals? anyone have any proof?

SOJOURN INC is a Tennessee based 501c3 charity for Wolfdogs. We do hands on care and rescue, but our entire expenses for a year are under 15,000.00.
We have yet to see 1/3 of that.

Our intentions were to divert anything over that to transport and rescue expenses for all Wolfdog volunteers and emergencies involving other hands on facilities that needed help.

How does the word get out, so that those who can afford or need the tax diversion to support useless scam charities, start changing their ways?

The answer is YOU

More Sadness

While greedy breeders continue to make more animals, rescues are overwhelmed. Sadly, not all rescuers are what they appear either. We are engulfed by stupidity, ego, and a few very sick minds.
over 100 Wolfdogs passed through the gates at one home based so called sanctuary. No one thought to check in there now and then, and when it finally happened, the discovery lead to investigation. At last count, an estimated 45 animals have been said to have been murdered by shotgun so that this useless human could continue to grandstand amongst the rescue community as a bigtime player.

Pictures of the killing fields are too disturbing for words.

SC breeder cont'd

Well the situation goes from bad to worse. There are 15 pups, and 23 adults.
This breeder has been scamming people for years, and is also responsible for at least 2 other breeders passing on her lies.
She claims her animals to be 1st generation from captive wild Wolves. 1 she has listed as 99% from Canada???
What kind of fools believe this crap? It would be a major felony to bring wild Wolves from Canada. And how would anyone determine the % of what?
Anyone with any Wolfdog knowledge can see her animals are all low % to start with, making her pups almost not Wolfdogs at all.
People get papers with their pup with more lies then Obama's campaign.

Wolves of Honor? Pam Crisp, aka Pam Edwards. What a piece of work.
