How do you respond to the delay of your flight?

According to City News, Canada and BBC Air Canada diverted original route and stopped over at Frankfurt on the way to Toronto from Tel Aviv. It’s because there was threat to life of a dog checked in by the passenger. It is said that passengers showed positive reactions and understood the situation.

If this happen for Japanese airlines or majority of passengers were Japanese, I guess it won’t be so. Many people in the world think Japanese are kind and polite. That might be a quite general image of Japanese. But are we generous enough to dogs and cats, and even minorities? This should be a good but a question difficult to answer for Japanese.

I have seen many posts on social network and web news that many people complain about crying babies on the flight. Even on trains there are many people who seem to be so annoyed with kids and babies crying on trains. It seems Japanese are not so kind and generous to kids and babies, though parents are not to be blamed even if babies cry in my opinion. (Is that why birth rate is so decreasing? Maybe not exactly but worth to examine it someday)

If it’s about a dog, there must be more harsh reactions in Japan. In Japan about 100,000 dogs have been killed every year because no one took care of them. People love dogs but they easily abandoned dogs. Though its number is decreasing (green line is for dogs and orange is for cats), more than 800 dogs were killed every day. Many NPOs and civil societies are working hard to reduce such cases, but this is the reality in Japan.


So I’m just wondering, what if the pilot was Japanese or airline is Japanese one.
