Whoa, that's just terrible and should (in my non-US opinion) be cause for reporting the driver in question to the police for abusing the dog.
- jbob2000 12y agoHow is that different than shoving them in a cage and stuffing them in an airplane's cargo bay?
- griffinmahon 12y agoShouldn't the act's terribleness, or if it actually qualifies as abuse, be related to how long the ride was? Some people put their dogs in cages at night, for instance.
- mikhailt 12y agoNo. You do not put a dog in an unsecured place like the trunk of a stranger's car. Keep in mind, we're not talking about regular standard taxis, these are strangers working on behalf of Uber with no regulations. A bump on the road could harm the animal if there are sharp objects not secured in the trunk. Cages are built to secure the animals, trunks are not, especially ones that does not belong to you. How about I shove you in the trunk instead of the backseat if the ride is only for 2-3 seconds. Are you okay with that?
