Woman Drowns Dog at Florida Airport to Board Flight
In a shocking incident at Orlando International Airport, Alison Lawrence, 45, has been accused of drowning her dog in a bathroom after being informed that the pet was not allowed on her international flight. The distressing event unfolded on March 20, 2025, and has sparked widespread condemnation across the United States and beyond.
Lawrence, who was attempting to board a flight to Paris, reportedly became desperate when airline staff denied her boarding with her dog. Instead of seeking alternative arrangements, she allegedly took the extreme measure of drowning the animal in a bathroom sink. The incident was discovered by airport staff who heard unusual noises and found Lawrence with the dog.
The Orlando Police Department has charged Lawrence with animal cruelty, and she is currently in custody awaiting her court appearance. The case has ignited a fierce debate about pet policies on flights and the lengths to which individuals will go when faced with travel restrictions.
