In late December, she was sent to a bigger home at the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo by Maria vonKoehnen from the rescue service.
>>Outside, in 50-degree temperatures, vonKoehnen says that caused Belinda to miss her next flight. So she was put in a warehouse for 15 hours.
>>Belinda was then flown to Pensacola and when zoo officials arrived at the Pensacola Regional Airport to pick her up, they found her dead.
>>"He opened her box, opened up her bag and she kind of poked her head out and seemed to be okay. Well, they don't show illness until very late in the game and it was about four weeks later that she showed up with an upper-respiratory infection, which for us is like a very bad cold, and which hence turned into pneumonia.
>>"And because of her being stuck in her crate, which is her wooden box we had made for her, she ended up in that box for over 31 hours and she ended up with full-body edema. Her liver couldn't take care of it, and so her liver gave out and she passed away March 1," said vonKoehnen.
I am missing something. It sounds like they shipped her, she was OK but not great, got sick a month later and they shipped her sick and it is the airlines fault.
I am being dense, I don't get how that is Delta's fault. If it was shipped to anyone else and it took a month to die wouldn't it be the person's fault? What am I missing?
