End Pet Suffering - Allow In Cabin Pet Travel Now
We urge the UK government to amend current UK pet travel regulations to permit pets to travel in cabin on inbound flights, aligning with practices in countries like Ireland. This change would allow pet owners the option to keep their pets with them during flights, ensuring their safety and comfort.
The UK mandates that pets enter the country as manifest cargo, subjecting them to stressful conditions in cargo hold. In contrast, Ireland’s regulation, Reg 576/2013, allow pets to travel in cabin.
Transporting pets as cargo exposes them to extreme temperatures, loud noises, and isolation, leading to physical and emotional distress.
By permitting in cabin pet travel, the UK would commit to pet welfare, align with neighboring countries’ humane practices, and provide peace of mind to pet owners.
