Cops: Woman Drowned Puppy In Airport Toilet After Not Being Allowed To Board Plane With Animal

[Purveyor]

After Nebraska airport workers refused to allow her to board a plane with a three-week-old puppy, a woman allegedly went into a nearby bathroom and drowned the animal in a toilet bowl, police allege.

Cynthia Anderson, a 56-year-old Florida resident, was arrested Friday afternoon at the Central Nebraska Regional Airport in Grand Island. Anderson, seen at right, was charged with animal cruelty.

According to cops, Anderson first tried to board a plane Thursday with three uncaged puppies, but was turned away by airport personnel. After her parents took two of the dogs, Anderson returned to the airport Friday with the remaining puppy (which she sought to conceal in a carry-on bag).

After she was again denied boarding, Anderson allegedly killed the Doberman puppy. A cop summoned to the airport reported, “On my arrival I learned a 3 week old puppy had been drowned in the toilet after a woman tried 3 times to get it on the plane.”

Anderson was arrested after police interviewed her and “numerous witnesses,” including a woman who discovered the dead dog.

15. it appears if your opinion was law, there would be no animal cruelty laws at all

and thus, she wouldn't be arrested.

17. Your vote in this poll is your position, period.

If it's not your position, then you've lied purposely.

18. Yes, I "lied," because it's a silly, obvous poll. Christ. nt

19. Asking whether animal cruelty laws should be strengthened a lot, a little

or changed is silly?

I thought you posted contrary positions on DU because your positions are contrary to most liberal positions on DU.

20. Silly because of course they should be strengthened. There, happy? nt

9. Jesus f'ing Christ.

These animal abuse stories are REALLY starting to get to me. Last week a Fort Bragg soldier was arrested for drowning his poor little puppy Riley.

Outraged neighbors say they put up money for drowned puppy's medical expenses

NO LENIENCY.

10. What was Michael Vick's girlfriend doing in Nebraska?

11. Why wouldn't they let her board?

About half of the flights I take out of Seattle have one of those things on them. They make a lot of noise and smell so having one of those things on the plane with you is very unpleasant. I've never seen an airline keep someone from boarding.

12. She didn't have a proper carrying case

and was HOLDING the puppy. No bueno.

[HappyMe]

13. Did you read the article at all.

That's what you got from this - complaining about a dog on a plane. Not the fact that this useless pos woman killed the dog in the bathroom?
You have to have the puppy in an airline approved carrier.
