Supermodel Maggie Rizer claims that United Airlines killed her dog when they didn’t open air vents in the cargo area of the plane while delayed for two hours. Maggie says her died from a heat stroke, but that isn’t the worst part. Upon landing, Maggie was unsympathetically told that the dog died and they sent it to vet to find the cause of the death but in reality the dog was just left dead in the crate and not send anywhere!

Maggie says she was flying from NYC to San Fran two weeks ago and brought her 2-year-old Golden Retriever along. Maggie says Bea and her other dog were crated in the underbelly of the plane. Maggie says, “I am so saddened by the complete lack of competence, honestly and compassion that United has shown.” Nevertheless, she is not planning to sue. FYI, the liability limitations would not make a lawsuit worth her time.
A rep for United said the company is sorry for Maggie’s loss, but said they found no mechanical or operational issues with Bea’s flight and the investigation is ongoing.
