    Story:

    Authorities were investigating the deaths of seven dogs after an American Airlines flight to Chicago. Flight 851 was an hour late taking off from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Tuesday morning, according to Mary Frances Fagan, director of corporate communications for American Airlines. The flight arrived at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport at 8:54 a.m. with 14 dog kennels on board.
    All the dogs on Flight 851 were "bound for other locations," Fagan said. When ramp workers began the process of moving the dogs to the other flights, they noticed the animals looked "lethargic." They tried to cool them down. The animals were taken from the airport to a veterinarian, Fagan said. Seven dogs later died.

    A few countries aside from Thailand as well.
    Dog doesn't taste too bad actually.
    Quite nice in a kind of stew thing they do.

    That doesn't really make sense. If a bunch of cows died of overheating while being transported in a truck in this country there would still be condemnation.
