Last week around United Airlines scandal flared up again. This time, the fault is not a passenger ejected by the force of a crowded flight, but Simon the rabbit, who died on board the plane under mysterious circumstances.

Annette Edwards, a British rabbit breeder, noted that Simon was healthy before boarding the flight and had undergone all hygiene procedures and been checked by a veterinarian. “I've shipped rabbits all over the world and never had a problem like this,” Edwards said.

Animal mortality during air travel is low, but such incidents do occur. Last year, according to the Ministry of Transport, out of more than 500 thousands of pets flying on airplanes, a dozen animals died 2. In most cases, these are dogs and cats, although there was a case even with a pig. He fell ill during the flight and died through the 2 of the day.
