Hey!!! What about my emotional support black mamba???
But these people have great emotional needs - like the great narcissistic need for attention, for example.
I despise everyone who is dragging their animals around in the Grocery stores, movie theater, malls, etc.
It’s gotten really old
4 years later I’m still pissed about that woman who held her bulldog to my aisle seat and the damn animal just DROOLED all over. LAX to Vancouver is only 1.5 hrs but it felt like 10 hours..
They need to quit horsing around just ban all animals from flights.
I have an emotional support 9mm. It provides quiet companionship, doesn’t pee on things, and I always feel better and more secure when it’s with me. I demand an accommodation!!
If this keeps up, I’ll need to speed up my pet, emotional, support Velociraptor project. Each member of our family needs one.
“The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) defines service animals in terms of their extensive training”
Service DOGS (”Beginning on March 15, 2011, only dogs are recognized as service animals under titles II and III of the ADA.”)
Service dogs perform a task (guide for blind, seizure warning, medicine, etc) . You can ask what task the dog performs.
Who certifies them and what are the standards?
Any doctor or shrink can write a note to the airline.
It's the same abuse as handicap parking permits.
Emotional support animals are NOT service animals———completely different legal category,and one that I think is hogwash.

A woman I know walks around with her dog in one of those baby bjorns.
I did a double take because I expected to see a baby. I also love it when they have dogs in strollers.
Hi. This is my emotional support honey badger.
Correct, emotional support animals don’t perform a task which is what defines service dogs.
What if your M1 Garand gives me emotional support. Can you bring that on your flight? Unloaded I mean.
LOL in a pigs eye. Only the left gets to play, because they make up the rules as they go along.

Hey if we ever fly together you can introduce him to my emotional support mongoose. I’m sure they won’t cause any problems playing together. :)
I agree, but then the airlines also have to improve their treatment of pets who are in their crates and in cargo. So many of them don’t come out alive. :(
In the past, only third world holes around the Equator allowed any animals on commercial or public passenger transportation.
