This “joke” will cause an escalation. The controller, fairly irritated, demands the title of transport of Chihuahua, something that Nicole did not have. “”I know very well that you should not pay for a small animal. I have always dealt with very nice and courteous controllers who have never been problematic for me. But according to this controller, my dog had to have his own transport title “continues Nicole.
The controller then asks him to pay an amount of 12 euros. Nicole refuses. It presents its identity card to the controller as provided for in the procedure. From 12 euros, the fine increased to 90 euros since it had not paid it in the 30 days, and then to 250 euros with the threat of a seizure per bailiff.

“It is out of the question that I pay this amount. I sent an email to the SNCB in which I ask them excuses for the hell that they make me live for this stupidity. The offense is theirs, not mine. When I took my train ticket to the distributor of the year station, nothing was planned for an animal, small or large. A kind Dutch -speaking of the SNCB Fines should not have a transport title for a small animal “she fulminates.
Excess of zeal?
So this question arises: Did the controller be excessive zeal or was the fine justified? According to the SNCB spokesperson, the regulations are clear, however: “A domestic animal supplement is requested for a dog or a cat on a leash. It can be obtained at a price of € 3 for a simple journey. The trip is free for other small domestic animals (rodents, birds, etc.) which must be transported in a basket, a cage or another suitable container, without the possibility of escaping. The dimensions of the container cannot exceed 55 cm long and 30 cm wide and high “concludes Vincent Bayer.
It therefore appears that the previous controllers have shown Clemence towards Nicole and his Chihuahua. From now on, the file has been sent to a bailiff “for forced recovery “. In the event of non-response, the amount of the fine could reach 500 euros.
