ST. LOUIS - An airline passenger who was told he couldn't take his ferret on an airplane is accused of beating the animal to death in an airport restroom.
Police said the man had the ferret in a cooler on an American Airlines flight from New York.
Flight attendants realized he had the animal and told him he could not take it on his next flight.
He's accused of trying to flush the ferret down a toilet during a layover in St. Louis, then beating it to death.
An airline spokeswoman says some pets are allowed on flights, with advance approval.
