ANIMAL TORTURE ! The two crossings I made on P&O Dover /Calais sailings, 20th and 27th September, subjected my 2 dogs to the most appaling conditions, contrary to the assurances given to me by your staff at the time of booking. Complaint #1 On the outward journey as I was settling my dogs down before leaving the car deck, a deafening alarm activated in a Mini some 4 metres away. A chain reaction then started and another 8 car alarms set off in sympathy. The offending Mini repeated it's racket every 5 minutes and continued to do so for at least 30 minutes after we sailed. Given the Mini's registration number, the Information Officer called repeatedly over the PA for the driver to come forward, but to no avail. On arrival at Calais I spoke politely to the Belgian driver who said she had been on deck and was horrified that her car could have upset my dogs. BOTTOM LINE #1...This was tantamount to torture for my dogs and is not acceptable. Complaint #2 Contrary to the indications, again made by your booking staff, on the return journey my car was not positioned in a `light and airy` part of a deck but dwarfed by coaches on all sides and the air was thick with diesel smoke. The Information Officer assured me that the coaches were not allowed to leave their engines running, but the smoke was already there. BOTTOM LINE #2 ...This stinking environment is no place for humans and definately not for dogs. Are the RSPCA aware of your travel conditions? COMPLAINT ! ANIMAL TORTURE !

Complaint #1
On the outward journey as I was settling my dogs down before leaving the car deck, a deafening alarm activated in a Mini some 4 metres away. A chain reaction then started and another 8 car alarms set off in sympathy. The offending Mini repeated it’s racket every 5 minutes and continued to do so for at least 30 minutes after we sailed.
Given the Mini’s registration number, the Information Officer called repeatedly over the PA for the driver to come forward, but to no avail. On arrival at Calais I spoke politely to the Belgian driver who said she had been on deck and was horrified that her car could have upset my dogs.
BOTTOM LINE #1…This was tantamount to torture for my dogs and is not acceptable.
Complaint #2
Contrary to the indications, again made by your booking staff, on the return journey my car was not positioned in a `light and airy` part of a deck but dwarfed by coaches on all sides and the air was thick with diesel smoke. The Information Officer assured me that the coaches were not allowed to leave their engines running, but the smoke was already there.
BOTTOM LINE #2 …This stinking environment is no place for humans and definately not for dogs.
Are the RSPCA aware of your travel conditions?
