My DOJ registered Service Animal had to go through $20,000 in training to be with me. People bring “Emotional Support Animals” in with NO training, licensing, or Federal registration then complain when they’re asked to leave. They’re breaking the ADA law not bending it.

Thank You! No training puts others AT RISK. A risk that you can't afford anywhere let alone 25000 feet on the air.

It’s gotten out of hand. People are abusing the system because they think their “fur baby” is more important than other people. We flew during Christmas and it looked like we were at the pound instead of the airport.
-
when was the last time a fur baby cried during the whole flight or wouldnt stop kicking your seat? Thats right, never because humans are the only animals whose tear ducts activate when under stress, and animals’ legs typically aren’t long enough to reach the seat in front.
-
Multiple times on flights I’ve had them crawling under the seat - either trying to get into my bag or leaving me with nowhere to place my feet. And then of course there’s the fact that some people are allergic to them.
-
then maybe we should warden off a section in every plane for people with animals. It wouldnt be first class so the tickets would be cheaper, but people with animals and people who arent allergic to said animals can get a seat there. I feel like that shouldnt cause any issues.
-
But FAA has very strict rules for a reason. I’m honestly shocked pets roaming free has been allowed so far. There’s a reason why a bag is supppsed to be under your seat during takeoff/landing. A pet under foot in a crash landing? Yikes! Recipe for disaster.

Educate yourself before you speak. ADA, FHAA and ACAA are two totally different things. So are Service Animals and ESA’s. For people like myself, this is an essential for therapy of mental health disorder. People like this make it less credible for people like me.pic.twitter.com/WWnMxNbWp3

Also, a good owner actually trains their animals, in my case a dog, so that there are absolutely 0 disturbances. She won’t move. I have literally had people not notice her for 30 minutes on a flight.pic.twitter.com/5bi3pR81LL

So thank you
@SouthwestAir for always being accommodating to myself and Penny. You have no clue how much someone like myself appreciates it. -
Provide a link to source & This has nothing to do with housing but nice post

That’s why I mentioned the ACAA :) https://www.transportation.gov/individuals/aviation-consumer-protection/service-animals-including-emotional-support-animals … http://m.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/assistance-animals-tenants-rights.html … https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/fair_housing_equal_opp/ReasonableAccommodations15 …

ESA’s are not granted access everywhere like a service animal is (for obvious reasons if you read the ADA). That’s what the FHAA and ACAA. It clearly distinguishes that the two are different. ESA = Housing And Airlines Service Animal = Anywhere. Professionally Trained

I would have had a panic attack if this peacock was allowed on the plane. I am very afraid of birds and a lot of other critters but birds are the top for me.
-
Most birds don't want anything to do with people and I don't blame them.


-
I still am afraid of them and you haven't seen a Blue Jay pull hair from your Grandfathers head for it's nest.

omg....that's hilarious.
