How stupid can train companies get?
Wednesday, September 24th, 2008
As of 1st October 2008, only dogs weighing 6kg and less will be able to travel (caged) by train in Italy. All others over 6kg will be banned from rail travel. In a move to tidy up their shitty, dirty trains some muppet had the idea that dogs make all the mess on trains, and it isn’t actually TrenItalia’s fault at all for not cleaning them.
As such on the 30th September, animal rights groups plan demonstrations of masses of dogs at all TrenItalia stations across Italy in a home to reverse the decision.
Sort your lives out TrenItalia – I travel with my dog on an almost fortnightly basis, paying for myself and my dog. If you implement this rule, I never will again. I will also dump all my dogs shit in and outside Porto Nouva station, just for you to clean up!
