They’re fighting like cats and dogs in Canada. That’s where a debate is raging on whether felines should continue to be allowed in airplane cabins. With 10% of people allergic to cats, Canadian allergy specialists have argued that humans’ right not to breathe cat dander should trump cat owners’ right to transport their cats on planes.

Hmmm, that's a tough one. People probably bring cat and dog dander on their clothes even tho they didn't bring one with them. I can understand from the people's allergies point of view that they wouldn't want them aboard but if I were moving or had to take a plane somewhere with my cat I'd want to have them near to protect them.
