    Lufthansa takes a stand for animals

    Here is the original story though it is in italian

    Cani qualcuno finalmente ha detto basta

    Pet news - cronaca mercoledì, 28 Aprile, 2010

    In un mondo che insegue solo ed unicamente il profitto, qualcuno ha avuto il coraggio di dire basta! La compagnia aerea Lufthansa ha deciso che non trasporterà più cani e gatti destinati alla sperimentazione. La notizia è stata diffusa dalla Peta, organizzazione non-profit a sostegno dei diritti animali.
    La compagnia aerea tedesca è stata la prima a raccogliere l'appello dell'associazione ambientalista che aveva mostrato le foto di 50 beagle terrorizzati che Lufthansa stava trasportando in un laboratorio scozzese, per test su veleni e pesticidi. Di qui la decisione di cambiare politica sull'argomento.
    Finalmente qualcosa si sta muovendo nel riconoscere i diritti dei nostri fedeli amici! Speriamo vivamente che questa strada venga percorsa anche da altre compagnie aeree.

    Translation:

    Dogs, someone finally said enough

    Pet news - news Wednesday, April 28, 2010

    In a world that pursues only profit, someone had the courage to say enough! The airline Lufthansa has decided it will not be handling dogs and cats for experimentation. The news was released by PETA, non-profit organization in support of animal rights. The German airline was the first to raise the appeal of the environmental that showed photos of 50 terrified beagles that Lufthansa was carrying to a Scottish lab where they would be used for testing poisons and pesticides. Hence the decision to change policy on the subject. At last something is being done to recognize the rights of our faithful friends! We hope that this road is traveled by other airlines.

    I applaud their decision. Why do European companies always seem to
    take the lead in social consciousness? Good for them.

    Death thought about it.
