I've been a dog owner for 25 years, and I've flown my dog precisely once in my life.  And that's when we made a move to the midwest.

I've probably encountered an emotional support animal once in my life, and I'm a frequent flyer.  (2x round trips a month for the last 4 years).

Just because you see crap on the news about emotional support peacocks, it doesn't mean it's people with emotional support animals mostly flying with dogs.

You're absurd.[/quote]

I don't fly that regularly, and maybe you've just been on the wrong flights. But 2/3 of them have had an animal on them that is clearly not a trained and certified service animal. Or just pre-flight, around the airport. It's absolutely excessive, and unlikely that these are all people making drastic, rare moves. [/quote]

+1 I fly maybe 8 times a year.  On domestic flights, there is almost always a dog or cat in a carrier on the plane.  They don't appear to be service animals--people just don't want to pay the 150$ to put them in cargo.[/quote]

Or they don't want to risk them getting lost/getting hurt/dying/freezing to death.[/quote]

For what reason? So that you can have your doggy with you for the week/weekend? That's not thinking of the dog's health and safety, but the owner's selfish wants. Leave your animal at home. [/quote]

As mentioned a million times - to move?

What if you're a veteran with PTSD and yeah you have an emotional support animal?

You're the selfish one for telling people how to conduct their lives.[/quote]

Those dogs are highly trained for such circumstances and to handle various scenarios. They're not ordinary pets that people want to travel with for the week, like the mom in this article who clearly had no idea how to treat animals and pets (or her specific breed), and most traveling pets.
