1) In reality, hardly any other airlines accept animals. So of course Delta is going to have the leading rate of deaths. And though I can't do the math, the buried mortality stat - .2% of animals flown - indicates the huge numbers of animals Delta carries
2) Animals in cargo holds are at risk on any airline. Delta has a huge number of restrictions to ensure pet safety. For example, if a plane is expected to sit on a tarmac in weather above 80%, animals aren't accepted.
I'm not a fan of Delta for other reasons. But having flown a cat across country, I can say through personal experience that they do a pretty damned good job. On both occasions, the different captains came back during layovers to tell me they were personally checking on my cat.
In the end, it's a stupid fucking conflict over inconsequential rocks with no natural resources except sheep.
And yet everything else about the place seems straight out of the William Castle playbook.
Oh, Elvis. Once again I have to think about you on the can.
Presumably, you haven't watched the show that closely, or you'd know it argues quite the opposite. But arguably, any successful art is advertising (whether its Michelangelo's work on behalf of the Catholic Church, or Lissitsky on behalf of the Russian proletariat).
