Next they will throw you off the plane for having your emotional support blow up doll with you!!!
I had to use this link.
Pigs ain’t pets, they’re FOOD for cripes sake!
Years ago I had an emotional support pig.......... but then....... she got big and .............. we ate her. SOB....... I miss Fern........she was delicious!
Another reason not to fly.
I hold my wife last week I’d like to have one of those vests for myself.
Get a few guffaws. :^)
It really has gotten out of hand.
I dunno, airborne bacon would likely give flying jihadis second thoughts.
Yes, I agree.
Sorry, animal lovers (yes, I am one), I cringe when I see this stuff.
Only the original “service” dogs, blind guides, really have evident credentials. Otherwise, the best evidence of service is some kind of other physical handicap (yes, I’m not PC, am I). Even then, since the dogs (or other animals) do not have to do anything but be “on call”, it is not obvious the dog is really qualified to “help”. A guy could be in a wheelchair, but his dog is really just, well, his dog. Their service dogs just sort of hang close to them, that is all. They should be able to show they actually listen to commands in such cases.
As for inner handicaps, such as PTSD, epilepsy, etc, are they required to show any obedience? If not, how do we prove the dog actually is used for “sensing impending problems”?
If there is going to be any kind of service from an animal, there really needs to be control of what the dogs learn, where they learn it, and certification/license to show they ARE what is claimed to be. The vest does not cut it.
I would make allowances for a small, pot bellied pig. No chance of a muslim hijacker crashing that plane.
If it keeps islamists off the flight I’m on, then I am all for it.
My sister is allergic to pet dander. She and her husband flew from Colorado to Texas for Christmas and was seated next to someone who explained that his small dog was for “emotional needs”. My sister explained her dilemma and the stewardess had to play musical chairs with six other passengers to get her far enough away from the dog without getting too close to the others with carry-on dogs. It was ridiculous.
Now, I used to own a small macaw and I flew a couple of times with her but I paid an extra charge to take her and her travel carrier slid under the seat where she stayed harmlessly. That was for her own safety as well as everyone else’s. I did not pretend she was anything more than a travel companion and her carrier was self-contained so any waste was easily cleaned and disposed when we got to the next terminal. If a nearby traveler would have complained (none did, rather children kept begging me to take her out so they could see her), I would have done all I could to be accommodating. I would not have whipped out some doctor’s note and demanded to be seated.
Swell. So now I suppose I’ll have to leave at home my emotional support crockadile?
On the other hand, if every flight had a mascot pig it might discourage Muslims from blowing up the plane.
While at Walmart last week, I noticed an old couple dressed poorly and they had their mutt on a leash - an ancient little rat dog covered with scabs, one eye missing and its tongue stuck out sideways. Upon asking, the wife said it’s a service dog, I said BS, and she didn’t like it. I love dogs but complained to the manager about it.
Anyone wanna guess what political party a person with a pe service pig votes for.
And for the Pig picture...
Nice pig
That’s not a pig, that’s my hat.
I was talking to the hat
