April truly is the cruelest month, at least when it comes to public relations disasters for United Airlines. In the airline’s latest high-profile calamity, a giant 10-month-old rabbit — which could have grown to a record-setting size — was found dead after traveling on a United Airlines flight from the United Kingdom to Chicago O’Hare International Airport. Simon, a male Continental Giant rabbit, was an offspring of Darius, who holds the Guinness World Record for longest rabbit. The safety and well-being of all the animals that travel with us is of the utmost importance to United Airlines and our PetSafe team. Simon’s death comes not long after viral videos captured a passenger being forcibly removed from a United Airlines flight.
