Mirna Gonzalez had just stepped away from Gate C7 at Portland International Airport when she heard the screaming.

Oh great the person sitting next to me on the plane has a pit bull on their lap.

No animals on airplanes. No exceptions. Unless they are in the cargo bay.

Dog owner Michelle Brannon will likely need a lot more emotional support, when the little girl’s family takes everything she owns.

Poor sucker probably suffers from a kid phobia and the support dog is to keep the little germ carriers back. If Muzzies liked dogs they would have to provide extra seats free. Keep your crumb cruncher away from the poor dog.

I’d have to question the “emotions” of a person needing a pit for “emotional support”...sounds more like full mental illness.

Emotional support animals is a bunch of hooey.

As my late aunt used to say, "S-O-S-O-S". (Same old s$%& only softer). The same goes for genders. There are only three: male, female, and attack helicopter. 😜

My emotional support python perforated the dog. It’s first name is “Colt”.

Yep. And the sad thing is that it hurts people that may really need such an animal — blind, injured in military service, etc.

Very few people need an animals for support. There should be extreme requirements for such.

If you require an “emotional support” animal to get on a plane, you are too damaged mentally to fly. Stay home and work on the wreckage of your mind until you can go out in public without endangering others due to your craziness.

I hope this doesn’t lead to a ban on my emotional support brown recluse spider on airplanes.

[Celtic Conservative]

That settles it. The next time I fly I will be taking My “Emotional Support Glock” with me.

Yep, and the pit was just finishing up writing an illustrated book aimed towards puppies.

We had laws about animals so that these kinds of things wouldn’t happen and when they didn’t happen liberals decided that we didn’t need the laws.

I wonder what emotion her pit bull was supporting.

[artichokegrower]

I always travel with my emotional support Ebola virus.

My emotional support nuclear weapon will destroy your emotional support alligator. "I'm so Robert, too!"
