Allow dogs and cats to travel on public transit

Allow dogs and cats to travel on public transit

Target:
American Public Transit Association  
Sponsored by: 
Some countries allow people to take dogs or cats on board a public bus or tram.  And it would be neat if this country could also allow people do to the same.  That way, dog and cat owners wouldn't have to worry about spending money on gasoline just to drive to the vet.  If a dog is well trained not to bother people, the transit systems should allow customers to take dogs with them.  Cats may have to travel in cages or pet caddies.

We need to change the laws here to allow people who have well behaved pets such as dogs and cats to travel on board public transit to events such as the vet or to a "Bark-n-the-park".

Offer socialisation courses for dogs so that people can take their dogs on public transport.

Well-behaved, quiet, calm pets should be allowed on buses. If a perticulair pet is poorly behaved that the owner can be told not to bring the pet on again. Most animals are very good, it is not fair that the poor behavior of some ruins it for all of us.

Absolutely. In Europe they allow pets to come onto buses and trains and even into restaurants. Imagine! No one has died from picking up a weird disease. They are our companions in live and should be able to travel with us everywhere we go.

Please allow friendly, healthy, non agressive dogs and cats as family pets and companion animals to ride public transportation with their responsible owners.

With increasing gas prices it would be nice to be able to take an animal to the vet or a dog park. Please consider and pass this into law. Thanks.

For most they are part of the family so why should we have to leave them behind? Would you want to have to leave your baby behind because of some ignorant rule? Well, these animals are just as dependent and dear to us.
