Anyone that allergic is gonna likely be highly sensitive to and dog dander left behind even if the dog isn’t on that flight.


You think they thoroughly vacuum anything dog dander could be on in between each flight? Doubtful.


True.

And she shouldn't ever go on City buses either. Or in pet owner ubers, because you know they drive their pets around. Or anywhere else dogs go.

"Deathly" allergic sounds bad. I know if you're deathly allergic to peanuts you don't play around with that shite.

I’m just pointing out that the woman is likely full of shite about her supposed “deathly” dog allergy.

frick these people with "emotional support" dogs on planes. Seriously these people should be caned. This is a concrete example of how the Obama Administration screwed the country up. People with emotional support dogs on planes. Unbelievable. Just the worst kind of people.


People like you are the worst kind of people. Some people like me need to bring our emotional support animals for our mental well being. I'm glad that I've never been given any trouble when I bring my emotional support snakes onboard.

agreed
anyone who is so emotionally unstable as to be unable to fly without their pet is a safety and security risk, not to mention the animal itself, since they have no professional training like real service animals

but
this woman deserved to be removed for being a dumbass

They will end up paying out money for this as it is cheaper than bad press and fighting a complaint in court.

I mean, I'm sure the airline would just handle it the same way they would a passenger. Brutally beat it then drag it off the plane.

Obviously, that would be the responsibility of the passengers and any damage caused should be the responsibility of that passenger. To date, Rattles has never caused me or my fellow passengers any trouble.

Then it will still be less frequent bouts of "bonkers" than what people are able to provide on an airplane.

If someone need a service animal for their emotion well being, chances are, that service animal needs a service human for IT'S emotional well being, just for having to put up with some dolt who needs a dog 24/7 for his/her "emotional" well being.

That doesn't include actual service animals and diabetic dogs or animals for autistic kids and what not. Just the ones you carry with you so that you "feel" better about yourself.

Delta removed all parties in the only incident I'm able to find. Dog was a lab.

quote:


“During the boarding process, a passenger’s emotional support animal bit another passenger,” said Delta spokesman Anthony Black. The dog was sitting on its owner’s lap in the middle seat, while the victim was seated in the window seat next to him.

The incident was first reported by Fox 5, which quoted a passenger who said: “The gentleman’s face was completely bloody…. his shirt was covered in blood.”

The flight was delayed while both passengers and the dog got off the plane.


quote:

The dog was secured inside a dog crate and released to Mundy, who was not charged, according to the police report. He was allowed to fly with his dog in the kennel, according to Delta.


quote:

The animal “must be trained to behave properly in public settings as service animals do,” according to Delta’s website. “A kennel is not required for emotional support animals if they are fully trained and meet same requirements as a service animal.”

Honestly she should know the airlines policies when she decided to buy a ticket. Since SWA clearly allows people to purchase a pet ticket (usually $100-$125 per ticket) she should know to maybe avoid flying SWA. This is a corporation that does not hide the fact that anyone can bring their pet into the cabin providing they fit into a defined carrier and can turn around inside the carrier. If she didn't know that or bothered to do any research before she purchased a ticket then that is on her.

Now better question is would she (or anyone else) still claim to be deathly allergic if it was a person who was blind/visually impaired and had brought their service animal on the flight?

Adam Carolla's take

Adam Carolla actually has a lot of good rants about his very subject and I agree with him. Most people who take these "emotional support animals" are fragile, SJW types. If you don't want the airlines to handle your pet flying then board it.
