Lanice Powless, a University of Colorado student, was flying to California from Denver International Airport when she said a Southwest Airlines employee informed her that she would not be allowed to bring her pink beta fish, Cassie, onboard with her. Powless had gotten the fish her freshman year of college to combat loneliness she was feeling being away at school. The two formed a fast friendship, Powless said to 10News.

Guess I’m lucky. I always take the voices in my head with me and no one complains.

Salt, pepper, a bit of basil in drawn butter and the goldfish. Problem solved.

That’s not even the right shaped fish tank for a Beta.
Not with that small opening for air.
Many of them will try to jump out if the water’s too dirty, or if there isn’t enough oxygen circulation.
Better to have a tank with a lid, and a bubbler or air filter to keep the oxygen flowing.
She is right, that Beta’s are not schooling fish, and prefer to swim alone or with lots of room to hide.

I don't think she ever thought it was a big deal. I was the one who thought it was a big deal!

It was probably a scheme to smuggle fresh fish into the country for a local Chinese restaurant. I hear one is serving a supreme flounder for the first time in the U.S.

Hard to tell what’s real and what’s completely made up anymore.

Besides, don’t airlines have restrictions on the number of ounces of fluid a passenger may carry on? 3 oz?

She planned to transport it in a tiny shampoo bottle, or what?

It’s all bogus as far as I am concerned.

It is unbelievable what a load of emotional cripples and pussies this generation is. This is the result of liberals controlling our education systems and parents abdicating their responsibility.

What these so called ‘young adults’ need is a great big boot to the ass.

Good catch——I had forgotten all about that———I don’t fly anymore.

How did she get the water through security? I’m limited to 3.2 ounces per container.
