Going For the Dogs

UK charter firm, K9 Jets (get it?) will use private jets to whisk a rich dog owner's pooch between Dubai and London. It will only cost the owner a tad over £8000. Now, it's not only the well-heeled contributing massively to global emissions, it's their pets as well! (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/sep/30/private-jet-service-for-rich-dog-owners-condemned-by-climate-campaigners). How crass is that? Environmentalists are somewhat taken aback. Let's hope no dog fights break out on the journey. They don't always end well for planes.
