WINDSOR LOCKS, Conn., - A woman and her pot-bellied pig were booted off a Washington, D.C.-bound plane after passengers complained the pig was disruptive and stinky.
The pig, thought to be about 70 pounds, had been brought aboard the US Airways plane at Bradley International Airport in Connecticut as an emotional-support animal. Crew members determined the animal was too disruptive and asked the woman to leave with the pig before the flight departed.
Some people aboard the plane thought the woman was carrying a large duffle bag over her shoulder.
"But it turns out it wasn't a duffel bag. We could smell it and it was a pig on a leash," Passenger Jonathan Skolnik told ABC News.
"She tethered it to the arm rest next to me and started to deal with her stuff, but the pig was walking back and forth."
Sharpton can’t catch a break these days.
This is my service/support animal. I call him Skippy. I demand that you let me take him wherever I want to.
I'm thinking of taking him to Ferguson, Missouri.
Wow... Mary Landrieu isn’t taking her poll numbers very well..
what a maroon
This ditz’s attitude is the problem. She arrogantly brought it on the plane with complete disregard for the rights of other travelers.
Now if they would kick out parents of little brats who scream and kick the seat in front of them.....
I’m guessing the guy who put the muzzle on that thing is missing a few fingers....
This would be hard to believe with out a photo. If this woman really wanted to take the pig with her she could crate it and put the animal in baggage. Did she buy a ticket for this huge animal? I doubt it. How did she get through the TSA?
Well, then, I guess I can forget flying with my emotional support rattle snake.
Everyone involved in letting the pig past the gate should be fired, along with their immediate supervisors and the supervisors up one level above that.
I posted the only pig picture I could find right offhand!
I have no problem with an “emotional support pig” on a plane. Provided, of course, that it’s sliced thick, sugar-cured, and served with eggs and hash browns. . .
She HAS to be related to the lady who tried to get the same kind of pig on a plane at SeaTac airport back in the 90s.
Was the pig named Maxwell?
