Having traveled in many places in the world, it seems to me that Amtrak's pet transportation ban policy is an exception rather than anywhere near any norm that exists in the travel industry. Therefore, i believe Amtrak should catch up with the rest of the world, and permit pets under specific set of rules, e.g. must be confined to a carrier, and such related constraints. I don't see any reason whatsoever to not do so. It is quite obvious that de facto, Amtrak already carries pets. Might as well provide a clear set of rules for doing so and even collect some money for it, instead of the current state of affairs. it is sort of like prohibition, and equally silly. Just iMHO of course. :help:
