American Airlines bans emotional support amphibians, ferrets, goats and more
First United Airlines barred an emotional support peacock from boarding. Now American Airlines is telling passengers some of their service and emotional support animals — including goats, hedgehogs and tusked creatures — can’t fly. (www.chicagotribune.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Beyond seeing eye dogs (which have been around for decades), I don't see the sense in ANY of this crap. People walking around in every kind of store imaginable with their little yippers in their arms, or in a stroller (ye gads!). Gimme a break! Or their German Shepards or Irish Wolf Hounds . . .
Now, if they would just port some of this 'common sense' over to Walmart, Home Depot, and restaurants we could make some real progress. Aside from seeing eye dogs the rest of this is just so much BS.
"and some suspect at least certain flyers use the designation to skirt rules governing household pets" REALLY? Just "some" suspect? I loved the fact that the lady with her ESA had to hold him the entire time because "he is afraid of flying". Now that's emotional support.
ban all animals - in closed areas I do not need to have allergies stirred up on a flight. That is my emotional support at work.
i have never seen the simple explanation for allowing these so-called animals on board a commercial aircraft. i have asked people and looked it up to no avail.
a couple paragraphs in this article and it states this is a federal law.
stick a fork in the US.
we're done.

What if an animal is afraid of flying...do they get a support human? Maybe, JUST MAYBE, people need to rediscover their backbones, ya suppose?!?
