Pit bulls don’t do “emotional support,” which is just a code phrase for the new way for people to get their dogs onto the plane without paying for shipping.

I was on a flight recently, in a seat I had paid more to get, when a woman got on with her “emotional support” animal, which was wearing a totally fake vest that is easily purchased on the internet. The dog was old, smelly, untrained, and leaped into her lap immediately. Since it was a big dog, it then spread its hindquarters across into the other passenger’s seat.

Guess who the flight attendants moved ... the other passenger, who had also paid a premium for the seat. They moved her way to the back.

Dog owners are abusing this massively, but the problem is that the airlines are scared to “just say no” because they’re afraid of legal repercussions. But there won’t be any legal repercussions in most cases because these are not legitimately certified service animals. Buying a vest off the internet does not make your dog a service animal.

Service animals are well-trained, would never jump into anybody’s lap and occupy somebody else’s seat, and are steady and unflappable.

Weaponized empathy. If you don’t do what I want, I’ll throw a tantrum and call you a mean, evil hater. If you still resist, in come the liberal bullies to ruin your life.
This is what a matriarchal dystopia looks like.

Can't these children-by-choice make do with an emotional support blanket?

How presumptous are these folks... that others won't mind, or don't have allergies, or will think nothing of being coated in dog hair? Oh and what's a little dog bite.

Glad I don't need to fly anymore. It's off-putting enough when people take their pets shopping. An aircraft is a confined space. Now parents have to worry about a pitbull in the next seat eyeing their tasty toddler.

The world is literally going to the dogs.

Concerning the days before the Messiah:

"The face of the generation will be like the face of a dog".

Dogs. In you face. This stuff is way more literal than people think.

They are making laws now that businesses cannot question if a dog is truly amsupport or therapy dog. It is insane.

They are not service dogs,they are classified as emotional support dogs and different rules apply.

The DO register through the internet——any type of dog,no training required.

The biggest scam EVER.
