Woman kicked off flight after emotional support PIG became rowdy

A PLANE passenger was booted off a flight because her rowdy emotional support PIG caused mayhem on board.

The woman was given her marching orders after the havoc-wreaking hog began walking up and down the aisles.

Even attempts to strap the farmyard animal to an arm rest failed.

One shocked onlooker said the brown swine looked around five stone as it was tossed over the unidentified woman's shoulder and marched off.

I didn’t attack someone for “loving something furry” - so typical of liberals to accuse someone of something they didn’t do.

What I said is if you’re so emotionally screwed up you have to hug your animal 24/7, you need more help than a pet can provide, preferably in a nice jacket with lots of pretty buckles.

Go back to feeling sorry for yourself, you seem to be very good at it.

I do pity you. Your anger must overwhelm you. I’m a conservative, not a liberal. And my life is filled with joy. I hope yours is, too, someday.

Thanks for providing a really good laugh. I just hope I never have to sit next to you and your furry friend on my next airplane flight.

I don’t fly, so no worries. Also I don’t have an emotional support animal. I have two dogs who are the center of my life, as as my husband is, as well. I just support people who need them. As I will support you in finding your own happiness that isn’t based on trying to hurt other people.

I might be wrong but to the best of my knowledge pigs cannot be housetrained. I’m surprised the support pig didn’t leave a trail of swine s**t down the aisle.

I have no personal experience with pigs of any size or breed. So I googled and this one came up:

A potbellied pig can be housebroken faster than most dogs. If you teach your pig good habits from day one, your pig will not have “accidents” in the house. You can start a piglet with a litter-box if you’d like, but then quickly teach your pig to do his business outdoors in a designated spot.

****

But I’d probably try to confirm that before investing in one. One of my dogs is a Bichon, which is notoriously awful to housebreak and he wears a diaper. No idea if diapers come in pig size gigantic.

After seeing a picture of her holding the animal, I was tempted to make some remark about two pigs, but, discretion.........

Say what you want, but a rowdy Support Pig insures that your flight will be free of The Religion Of Peace.

What an excellent thought. Rather than making people take off their shoes, they could just assign a pot-bellied pig to each air marshall and potential terrorists will opt for other modes of transportation.

“So while I don’t think you can stop someone from needing their emotional support pig, you can insist that it be well-behaved.”

Sorry, but I don’t want to sit next to a pig for hours, human or otherwise.

A good reason to travel in a private compartment by train. Lots of privacy and time to enjoy books and music and movies on a laptop. And you get to keep your shoes on.
