Delta Air Lines says it's no longer allowing passengers to fly with "pit bull type" dogs as service or support animals. The Atlanta-based airline describes its ban announced this week as an "enhancement" to its policy on animals in passenger areas. Delta also says it's limiting travelers to a single emotional support animal per flight. The changes take effect July 10.


quote:

The airline's statement says its new ban on pit bull type dogs responds to "growing safety concerns" after several employees were bitten. But the ban is prompting a social media backlash, and figuring out exactly which dogs fall under the policy could be a challenge. Delta describes them differently, as "Bull type dogs," on its online list of prohibited animals, which includes reptiles, spiders and goats, among others.

I've said it before but some governing body (don't know who) needs to basically pinpoint a few LEGIT service animal accreditation companies and America should only recognize those services from here on out. It's sickening the amount of people that can go online and 20 minutes later print out a certificate for their "service animal".

I'm glad at least one company has the balls to use common sense.

Good.

I don't care what the PitBull advocates say. They absolutely have the propensity to endanger people and other animals as compared to other dog breeds. IB4: Blah Blah Blah, "depends on the owner". Well, 90% of the owners are lower class trash who don't train them as they should because they are nothing but a hoodrat accessory to them. So your argument is invalid.

Can my Boxer support me as I get on the plane? She has a big head, is she "pit bull" type?

Sounds like more winning for Delta. Trashy fliers will book through other airlines instead of Delta

Delta flights just got a whole lot safer. Now I don't have to worry about getting killed by pit bull while I fly.

Is a shame how many ignorant assholes there are out there that think pit bulls are dangerous. They are probably the same ones that think guns kill people.

People need to learn what pitbulls are. They were bred for their aggressiveness. They are not house pets. That does not make them evil. They are simply a purpose driven dog. I know some people have had them for years without incident, but that doesn’t negate its nature.

Is there where I come to post my pit mix?

It’s a shame this board is made up of so many cry babies. On here 24/7, whining about something.
You think pitbulls are : blah blah blah..

Cool.

Go have a happy meal and cheer up you sensitive bitch.




ETA: downvote away, my dog and I love it!
