Poor Simon, poor UAL.
Coulda been worse. He could have been ‘seated’ in the cabin. Angry flight attendant; “sir, you need to show a ticket stub for that rabbit. Look at the size of him! And we don’t serve greens and carrots on my airline every day!” Followed by Simon being dragged down the aisle by his enormous ears……………..to the galley.
Hey, maybe a toxicology test on Simon will reveal the presence of growth hormones and UAL can declaim that air travel is always lethal for ‘small’ animals GH’d up?
CSI UAL PetSafe team is on the case!

Mystery as world's-biggest-rabbit contender dies on United Airlines flight to O'Hare
Jane Onyanga-Omara , USA TODAY Published 5:35 a.m. ET April 26, 2017 | Updated 21 minutes ago
LONDON — A giant rabbit died in unexplained circumstances on a United Airlines flight from Britain to Chicago in the latest unfortunate incident to hit the beleaguered airline, British media reported Wednesday.
Simon, a 3-foot, 10-month-old Continental Giant rabbit, was found dead after the Boeing 767 landed at Chicago O’Hare International Airport following its departure from London Heathrow, the Sun newspaper reported.
Rabbit breeder Annette Edwards told the newspaper that the rabbit, which was likely to grow to be the biggest in the world after its father Darius held the title of the world’s biggest rabbit at 4ft 4in long, was being transported to its new celebrity owner. It wasn't immediately clear when the incident occurred and what caused the animal's death.
“Simon had a vet’s check-up three hours before the flight and was fit as a fiddle,” Edwards told the Sun. “Something very strange has happened and I want to know what. I’ve sent rabbits all around the world and nothing like this has happened before. The client who bought Simon is very famous. He’s upset.”
In a statement, United said: “We were saddened to hear this news. The safety and wellbeing of all the animals that travel with us is of the utmost importance to United Airlines and our PetSafe team. We have been in contact with our customer and have offered assistance. We are reviewing this matter."
