Never bad. Always adorable. But I am curious. How would you have handled the situation?
Thanks, I think.
What would I do? Perhaps, its above my pay grade, but thinking about it for the first time:
Some sort of animal qualification should be employed. I’m sick and tired of the passing the buck on responsibility that comes with an unwieldy, intrusive, but also overburdened and corrupt legal system. There’s too much o the squeaky wheel getting the grease.
Perhaps pigs wouldn’t be allowed at all; perhaps a behavioral training/certification board for support animals (no badge, no fly). At the boarding area or on the plane—someone, not everyone, has veto capability. They can say whether the animal goes on board or goes in a crate. There’s an appeal board, but damages are limited to something like double the flight cost paid by the animal owner who doesn’t like the decision.
Not a perfect program, but a start, off the cuff. Monkeys, pigs, and badly behaved dogs would be restricted most of the time, but well-trained, documented service dogs would be fine, as they usually are.
