“@united….. this is abusive and cruel. To explain to me i can not give her drinking water!!!!!!! To phone the captain and threaten to kick me off the plane mainly because i am sobbing…… Does any person know what i can do listed here???? “

She ongoing: “This is unquestionably CRUEL!!! @United this is BULLSH-T!!!!!!!! I have by no means built a rant like this on social media but this is my pet!!!! I am quite upset,” the Alabama-born painter and sculptor vented in the caption, like the hashtag “#animalabuse.” 

The write-up amassed 974 responses and 6,914 “likes” in the very first two hours it was on the web. 

A United spokesperson reported a flight attendant aboard the Newark to New Orleans flight asked Longshore to observe their guidelines for touring with animals.

“Our crew reminded the purchaser of our pet in cabin coverage, which demands the provider to continue to be shut,” the spokesperson stated.

Longshore did not return messages.
