What about lions?

Every time I think these people can’t get stupider about their policy...I am surprised.

[Sacajaweau]

Trained Mini Horses? No pampers allowed....they gotta wear their big boy pants.

[Yaelle]

This is sad news for those of us on the American Idol thread. So many of the contestants this season were into goats.

[GnuThere]

This whole thing is way out of control.
How in the world do they allow a mini horse on a plane if you have to sit by somebody?

[Rome2000]

Tiny Tim, Worlds smallest Horse?

What about lions?

I didn't see them on the banned list. As long as they don't sit in a seat or protrude into the aisle.... i

Obviously some Bronies among AA’s higher ups.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

If I were on a plane, and someone brought a horse on-board, I would disembark and demand a refund. And it would be the last flight I ever took on that airline.

By the way, this is catering to Mudslums who think they are too good for a service dog. A "service horse"? Who ever heard of such a gosh d*m*ed thing! Oh, and "emotional support animals". Their owners need to suck it up and act like grownups.

I won't fly without my emotional support chupacabra.

My mom watches a vet show on Nat Geo out of Hawaii called Buckeye Bottoms. He makes housecalls. I had never seen it before. The show they had on last night showed him seeing to a miniature horse. So darn cute. Would love to have one. But they come with health problems...one they said being their teeth as they don’t have enough space in their mouths.

[BBell]

I want my honey badger.

[SkyDancer]

Wait until we on the flight deck demand our support hippo’s.

[antidisestablishment]

I prefer fainting goats:

Sometimes I think I am an unknowing participant in a program called "The Fardels Show".

Flying circus animals is just one more thing to discourage me from traveling.

[GnuThere]

I might get a support goat only if I could train it to spit on obnoxious passengers.

[EdnaMode]

LOL. That’s YUGE!

[TigersEye]

Has anyone seen my Support Tarantula? I had him when I boarded the plane.
