Pets only count as baggage, EU court rules after distraught plane passenger’s beloved dog goes missing in transit

In a disappointing ruling, the EU court has classified pets as mere baggage, following a case where a distraught passenger lost their beloved dog during transit. This decision raises significant concerns for pet owners who travel, as it implies that their furry companions are not afforded the same care and consideration as other forms of luggage. The ruling highlights the need for clearer regulations regarding the transport of pets, ensuring their safety and well-being during travel.
