duuuuuhhhhh prager, really, these doors are the best, but these crates also break,
the old vari kennels were the best but appearently they where too expensive to stick around

Duke Everything breaks,.... what we are talking about is, how fast. Actually what I am talking about here is why are SPECIFICALY Malis not allowed on United air? Who cares and why to push this rule.
Another issue is ridiculous regulations on the size of crates where if the dog sits the ears must not toutch the seeling of the crate. Any 1/2 ass dog person knows that dogs are more comfortable in smaller crates. So that gives?! I have my ideas on size of crates, but I am curious what are yours. At the same time I am at lost at why Malis are excluded from shipping at all and what does the "strong jaw " reason actually means.

@huntmutter. Yes they do. If airline kisses thatr ass the AR does not make stink around your airline. Stink is bad for business. They write articles and make sick ads on TV. And standing in front of terminals with signs about BRUTALITY AND CRUELTY I tell you!!~!. What business wants to deal with that? year 2017
Of course ARs agenda it to stop flying animals altogether. this is just a 'BOILING FROG' approach.
The next step is to forbid people to have pets. And do not call me paranoid. I am not.Not about this anyway :)

Well I think you might be, slightly. I think everyone gives Peta too much credit for how effective it is. But that aside, the odd demo outside the airport doesn't generate so much 'fear & loathing' it'll stop United doing things for profits, as other demonstrations, over the way people have been treated down the years, have proved. Bad publicity is always better than none.
On the point of the chart you provide above, its hardly surprising that the number of 'incidents' (and that category could incorporate all sorts of things, not Malis bursting out of crates and savaging people !) is a little higher than some, given the sheer quantity of "total transports" as compared to alternative airlines. Much as I agree with you that this ban is unfair, unreasonable, and probably bloody inconvenient, that doesn't detract from the fact that with that enormous volume of traffic I really do not think United is on the brink of banning animal transports altogether, whether the reasoning is about profitability OR A.R. demos. Its clearly making too much money from them to do that.

Just bad luck, bad statistics, or bad employees?
Or maybe only one freight of exotic fishes of which some died during the flight???
My guess: at least 2 Mals died during transport, and several "short nosed" breeds...
