Emotional Support Squirrel Lady Is Suing Frontier
Live And Let’s Fly ^ | 10-13-18

Posted on 10/13/2018 9:45:44 AM PDT by Simon Green

Passenger Cindy Torok relies on her emotional squirrel, Daisy, to deal with her anxiety.

She`ll fit in the palm of my hand. I can cover her up with my other hand. She gives you kisses.

She shares that when flight attendants discovered her squirrel, they asked her to exit the plane immediately. When she refused, they warned they would just de-board everyone else instead. Torok responded:

OK deboard them! But I am taking my squirrel with me…You will not take my baby from me!

If you’re wondering how she got through security in the first place, she claims the TSA had no problem with Daisy, allowing her to hold the little rodent while walking through the metal detector.

If somebody brought a rat or a snake or a spider, tarantula onto the plane, I would feel a little creepy. I can sympathize with the people that don’t want her there but she was inn a carrying case!

Frontier, to its credit, full refunded Torok’s ticket price and gave her a voucher for future travel, despite her antics onboard. But that’s not enough. Now she’s suing.

I will own a big portion of this airline. I’m going for blood. I am going all the way. I am contacting an attorney and taking it from there.

You can watch her interview here:

If I had a squirrel, I would name it Brunswick.

1. There are no coincidences.

2. You cant plan a revival.

I think that emotional support animals should be limited to squirrels. And for the safety of the animals, they should be certified flying squirrels.

Thats the only way I’d ever dream of flying!

The only animals on planes should be registered service animals like dogs for the blind.

I traveled with my dog once. He was not an emotional support animal, was under 15 pounds, in a carrier kept under the seat in front of me, tranquilized, and paid $80 for a ticket.

I’m sitting on a flight right now as I’m reading this (not Frontier, though I fly them frequently), and I’m laughing so hard I’m crying. Passengers next to me probably wishing I had an emotional support squirrel. And considering the virtual petting zoo that boarded the aircraft ahead of me, that would fit right in.

I don't go anywhere without my support opossum. When I'm scared I can cuddle in the pouch.

“From my observation, the people with emotional comfort animals are nothing but self-centered, emotionally unstable, attention seekers”

.....who want special treatment and to board before everyone else. In the case of SWA it problematic.

I’ve publicly called bs on them on more than one occasion.

I read a story about a woman who trying to bring a “support rat” on a plane. They said no, and she flushed it down the toilet. So much for support.

To be fair she could just buy a new one for $2.00 at any pet store in her destination city...

Rats- the disposable emotional support animal.

I have an emotional support parrot training program.
I just trained the first parrot, an Amazon.

Anytime I try to take him somewhere to comfort me, he is trained to yell “Suck it up, buttercup!”

They need to create a new airline. Name it, Tard Air, or Kinky Ding Ding Airlines.

They would cater to all those with bobcats, squirrels, hedgehogs, gofers and chimps. At feeding time, just throw down some meal worms and toss a bail of hay down the isle.
