«Breaking News» British man accuses Virgin of negligence after his beloved bulldog Bruno died in 90F heat on tarmac

A British man and his Australian wife have slammed Virgin for negligence after their beloved pet dog died of heat stroke when he was left in sweltering 90F on an airport runway by staff.

Former BBC finance manager Neil Maccabee, 56, and his wife Kristina were travelling with seven-year-old French bulldog Bruno from Townsville in Queensland, Australia, to Sydney on Boxing Day.

However, upon landing they were informed by Virgin staff that their beloved pet was dead.

The heartbroken couple are awaiting the results of the official RSPCA autopsy but have been told that Bruno probably died of heatstroke.

They have slammed Virgin Australia, after saying that they spotted Bruno’s carrier on the tarmac in baking temperatures for up to 40 minutes.

The airline has rejected the claim, saying that Bruno was only on the tarmac for minutes, although it has refused to release the CCTV footage to confirm this.

Mr and Mrs Maccabee said that they had seen Bruno waiting on the tarmac in searing heat for up to 40 minutes

Mr Maccabee said: 'We believe Virgin Australia has been negligent in their duty of care towards Bruno.

'To leave a dog in a plastic caged container on the tarmac in tropical heat for any length of time is indefensible.

‘Why won’t they show us the CCTV footage? We both looked out of the window and saw Bruno’s pet carrier on a buggy, waiting to be loaded.

‘I want them to acknowledge that they failed to follow the correct procedures.’

Mr Maccabee  moved Down Under with his Australian-born wife 13 years ago and now lives in Wentworth Falls, New South Wales.   

Last night, a Virgin spokesman said: ‘Our team followed all correct processes when transporting Bruno and ensured he had water and was placed in an undercover, shaded area prior to boarding.

‘In no circumstance was Bruno left on the tarmac for an extended period of time.

‘Unfortunately, there are inherent risks in transporting brachycephalic [flat-faced] breeds such as Bruno, due to the respiratory issues often experienced by the animal while in transit.

‘As part of the booking process, guests are required to acknowledge the risks associated with transporting these breeds.’

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
