Owners of a giant rabbit that mysteriously died on board of United Airlines flight from London to Chicago in April are seeking compensation from the airline. The owners say it was frozen to death after it was ‘literally’ frozen to death by United Airlines staff.
The airline has disagreed saying the 3ft (90cm) animal, which died on the plane in April, was frozen to death after it was mistakenly kept in a freezer by airline employees who also allegedly went on to cremate its corpse without the knowledge of the owners.
The Iowa group that owned Simon, a 10-month-old continental giant rabbit, sought compensation from the airline as they believe that ‘Simon’ would become the biggest rabbit on the planet, inheriting the trait from his 4ft 4 father, ‘Darius.’ As of 9 May the airline was given 7 days to respond before legal action could be taken.
“United Airline can issue any statement they like but their company’s credibility is under question when they immediately cremated the giant rabbit, Simon without anyone’s consent,” Cook said, according to Reuters. “They destroyed proof”.
Charles Hobart the airline’s spokesperson denied that Simon died in a freezer, adding that when Simon arrived in Chicago, he was apparently in good condition and was seen hoping around in his kernel 35 minutes after landing.
