Didn’t I recently post something about how JFK’s baggage handlers are trapped in penury because of the inhumanly low wages the airport pays them?
Well, now we learn what JFK’s real priorities are: luxury accommodations for…pets.
Jet-setting stallions and high-flying hounds at New York’s Kennedy Airport can look forward to a new luxury terminal that will handle the more than 70,000 animals flying in and out every year.

Here’s a snippet:
The ARK at JFK, its name inspired by Noah’s biblical vessel, will more than measure up to terminals for humans: Horses and cows will occupy sleek, climate-controlled stalls with showers, and doggies will lounge in hotel suites featuring flat-screen TVs. A special space for penguins will allow them mating privacy.
