[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I brought my elderly, ill cat on a transatlantic flight using the “support pet” angle when i was moving back to the US.  Nobody knew she was there, tucked under the seat in front of me.

I realize that size prevents it being an option for most dogs, but ones that can fit in a carrier should be in one and — at the very least — dogs should be muzzled and harnessed.  I don’t care if “he wouldn’t hurt a fly.”  I wouldn’t plunk my cat down next to a person and expect them to be happy.  Why do people expect it with dogs?[/quote]

Why didn't you just pay the fee to bring a small animal with you in the cabin?  Your cat doesn't have to be a "support pet."[/quote]

At the time, all animals traveling to/from the uk had to fly in the hold, but it was an American airline and honored the request.  So I did pay a fee ($250?).  It wasn’t about being cheap.  When we moved there several years before, she was in good health and flew in the hold as required.

I was under the impression that people would be pissed about any animal in the cabin (other than a legit service dog) whether it was a “support pet” or not.

She didn’t leave the carrier on the flight, and my family had the whole row — people were spared my cat and my child.

I would say that the majority of people do not have a problem with small pets in carriers on flights... as long as the pet remains in their carrier and the owner has paid the appropriate fee and doesn't claim any "emotional support" ridiculousness.

We do have a few vocal, hyper-allergic people who are dismayed at pets on flights, [b]but that is their issue to deal with[/b].[/quote]

What a selfish ass you are.[/quote]

Really? That seems a bit harsh. I have always owned big dogs, so whenever I have flown with one (thankfully, rarely), they are in the cargo hold. But people are allowed to bring their small pets in the cabin. And yes, highly allergic people just have to deal with it. In life, we all have to deal with things. If you insisted that all flights become pet-free to accommodate you, would you consider yourself a selfish ass?[/quote]
