Alop Daimyo, a member of the Facebook group Complaint Singapore, caught a man on camera placing his dog inside a BlueSG rental vehicle. His post, captioned “Can you really put pets in a rental car? I won’t mind if it’s in a cage or something but openly?” spurred considerable controversy.
Aggravated netizens condemned the pet owner’s irresponsibility and insensitivity towards the next user of the BlueSG rental car.
Others in the group, sharing this sentiment, urged Mr. Daimyo to report the person he captured on camera. As Darlene Tan articulated, “Report date, time and location of the photo taken to BlueSG. Let them do the investigation and necessary cleaning.”
Some netizens even blamed pet owners as to why some of the BlueSG rental cars, for some reason, smell. Sharifah Khairia Al Shahab said in her comment, “No wonder BlueSG cars sometimes smell bad.”
One of the netizen, Ke So Wan Frits offered a different insight, his comment said, “Next time I film you breaking the rules can ???… And did you get consent taking his.pix ? …. means you ALSO BROKE THE RULES !!!”
While some netizens referred to some pet owners as inconsiderate, selfish, and brainless, one netizen, Chua Tean Lock believed that it is the car rental company’s responsibility to keep their vehicles clean.
BlueSG stated on its website that pets are strictly not allowed in their vehicles. If a car rental is required for your furry friends, Shariot Singapore was suggested as a better alternative, as they do allow pets in their Shariot car rental services.
However, Shariot reminded users on their website, “Should you transport your pet, please be considerate of the next user that might be allergic to pet fur and clean up after.”
As the debate around pet transportation in car rentals continues, both pet owners and car rental companies like BlueSG and Shariot are encouraged to act responsibly. /TISG
