You can't take your emotional support peacock onto United Airlines

No word on how the airline feels about emotional support lemurs, capybaras, or tarantulas.

I am glad United is finally taking a stand. The number of "support" dogs on planes these days is crazy and there is nowhere for the poor dogs to sit, eat or pee. Where was this person going to put her peacock anyway?

In its seat! She bought a separate ticket for it.

Now I am wondering if they make peacock diapers but am afraid to Google that.

How to tell an emotional support animal from a REAL service dog: the ESA animal is always badly behaved.

My uncle has a true service dog. He’s so well behaved that you forget he’s there and I’m not a dog person. He does not beg at the table like I see so many “service dogs” doing in restaurants. He doesn’t engage when some random (rude) adult or overzealous kid pets him. The fake ones go bonkers and love the attention; their tails immediately start wagging when they get petted.

Lolllll. Wouldn’t it keep running away or opening its feathers in an attempt to, maybe, defend itself? I’ve seen some that do it at zoos.

Someone get that peacock it’s own support peacock!

It is a peacock that needs support.

Maybe that a peacock, or a dog, or hamster, poses no threat to other passengers.

I imagine it does. Flying is probably stressful for a peacock.
