LONDON // United Airlines is investigating a report that a giant rabbit died on one of its trans-Atlantic flights.
Distraught breeder Annette Edwards from Worcestershire in central England said on Wednesday that Simon, a 10-month-old, 3-foot-long continental rabbit, had a vet check shortly before travelling from London Heathrow to Chicago O'Hare, and was declared healthy.
She said Simon had been purchased by a celebrity whom she did not identify.
"Simon had his vet check just before getting on the plane," she said. "He was fit as a fiddle."
The airline said it was "saddened" by the news and had been in contact with Ms Edwards and offered assistance.
The company is dealing with public relations issues after a passenger who would not give up his seat was dragged forcibly from a plane in Chicago three weeks ago.
