Here’s the original tweet from a passenger about a dog on the runway:
Evil United Airlines leaves dog on rainy cold runway for more than a half hour despite alerts to staff :-((((( boo pic.twitter.com/xcwVOxIpV9

And here’s the response from United:
@theregoesbabs Thanks for telling us. The weather can change & may have been clear when PetSafe dropped off. They're the ones to call too.

Cue the outrage.
@united regardless of weather you shouldn't leave a caged animal for a half hour. Fucking pathetic. That's why I'll always fly jet blue
— Boomer (@Flyerasooner) December 28, 2014
@Olivianuzzi @united never flying United again. Ever.

@thetheRedundant @united @theregoesbabs Major fail, United! Passing the buck instead of expressing concern and regret…

@united this is an intentional act that screams negligence. I have always flown United but will now do all I can to avoid your airline.

@united @theregoesbabs No excuse. They are your contractor. Plus, she said staff was alerted. Just apologize and hope that dog is ok.

@united Dude.

@united How about you apologize for leaving dog on a cold, wet runway instead of passing the buck?
— Dougie Stardust (@MrDougEStardust) December 28, 2014
@united @theregoesbabs yeah just push the blame off. Dont fix it. Whoever runs this twitter should be fired immediately.
