American Airlines bans emotional support insects, goats, hedgehogs, and more

You should check to see what happens to this guy before you take any action on a plane:

The consequences would be irrelevant since I would have no control over my actions once my fight or flight instincts kicked in. Since there is nowhere to flee on a plane I'd have no choice but to fight, to the death if necessary.

Good. It is a load of poop to begin with.

Not to mention the peanut shortage they cause.

Can I still fly with My digestive track support Tape Worm ?



eeeuuuw

I take it you use duck tape?

I can definitely understand why they did this and of course people have to be assholes and abuse stuff like this that could be legitimate.

Could you imagine having to sit in a cramped airplane seat next to someone's miniature horse?

I actually think it'd be awesome. Maybe not awesome, but I'd enjoy having a little mini horse nearby on a flight. Well unless it started shitting or pissing on me/my stuff or biting me or something. Which is generally how I'd feel about most animals (including more traditionally acceptable ones like dogs and cats).

And that's exactly the rationale used by people trying to wrangle a free seat for their emotional support gorilla. Travel is difficult and stressful, that makes emotional support even more important.

That's a good point. If flying wasn't such a miserable experience these days I don't think we'd be having people resort to this type of stuff.

I'm good with that. They can keep the property patrolled, especially on the side with the McLouds, and them putting their crap on my side. I'll install a dog emu fence to keep them in place. Maybe some emu sized cock fighting spurs for extra intimidation factor :^D

I don't think you'd be pleased with the results. A friend of mine's dad bought a couple of emus when we were in like junior high. They did nothing but run away, and were skittish (so they'd get scared when you weren't trying to harm them, kick at you and run away). I don't doubt they can be territorial and mean like ostriches, but they're not gonna be much of a deterrent. I have a hunch you might see them start to go missing too from people killing them to try the meat (that's why my friend's dad bought them, he was gonna raise them and then have them butchered for the meat). Or you'd get random people stopping by just to check them out (or show them to their kids), so you'd probably get some extra unwanted attention on top of it.

Well maybe folks can still take their emotional support snail onboard with them.
