United Airlines Nearly Kills Pet, Aims For Streisand Glory Instead Of Paying Vet Bill | Techdirt:"As the saying goes, there are many ways to skin a Streisand effect.
Wait, no, that's not right, but the point is that attempts at silencing speech resulting in an explosion of that speech are quite varied.
From railing against parody Twitter accounts, to attempts to silence negative online reviews, to professional sports leagues trying to keep documentaries from going live, it seems we all have something to learn from Senorita Streisand and her icy wrath.
But few such lessons include puppies, such as this one that reader IAsimov alerts us to, in which United Airlines nearly killed an owner's beloved dog and agreed to pay her vet bills, but only if she signed an non-disclosure agreement.
Janet Sinclair brought her pets, Sedona the greyhound and Alika the cat, on a cross-country trip using UA's "PetSafe" program, which makes several promises about how the animals will be treated and what type of conditions they'll be exposed to.
It would appear, to put it mildly, that the airline failed to keep their promises."
