I wonder why from a vet. What is a vet going.to say about an emotional support peacock?

Because you can get certificates for your animal online that say it’s a support animal. They’re probably hoping vets are more scrupulous.

Peacocks scream like women. It would be extremely freaky to be on a plane with one.

There was another article that said Delta actually is the airline to start pushing back against the crazy animal people exploiting service dog laws that are designed to help handicap people.

The airlines have been experiencing a notable uptick in biting, defacating, incessant barking and general messes from fake "emotional support" animals and untrained dogs on planes. Airlines are realizing this free for all is bad policy so they are finally taking a stand against the entitled and crazy animal people.

The article I read said they were doing things like requiring both a current (within 48 hours) vet certificate, banning entire types of animals like ferrets, chickens, reptiles (and apparently peacocks) and requiring a training certificate from a reputable service animal organization.

I wish retailers would start taking a stand too. No one wants your dog in the grocery store or walking around Home goods.

Disabled people pay a ton of money for a legitimately trained service dog to help them stay safe or access things they need.

It is shameful and borderline criminal for Paris Hilton wannabes to exploit service dog protections meant to help the disabled With their fake "emotional support" animals.

This should be a sticky.

I am seriously allergic to feathers. I should be able to fly safely, no?

Yeah...too bad they're going to get sued and lose because it places a huge burden on those who actually need their support dogs.

I love my dog. I'd love to take her with me. If all I need is a vet letter and a cockamamie story, it certainly does seem like the best way to get her across the country is as an emotional support animal.

She is well-behaved, but not as well-behaved as a service dog.

That is a cop out and a lie.

To restate what was said earlier, being a millennial is NOT a prltected group or a disability.
