  1. Links to news stories from...

I'll say it louder for the people in the back, an emotional support animal is literally just a pet. Jet Blue does allow trained service animals and you can bring cats and small dogs in the cabin provided they stay in their carriers.

While her cancer could have come back due to stress, this stress is purely of her own creation. Follow the damn rules. God damned emotional support spider bullshit.

Not that I'm ever on the side of a soulless corporation, but gods above, there has to be a line.

Yeah, and it's fine if people need such a pet around to stay calm, but then plan your travels accordingly. It's not like you couldn't have trivially known about this beforehand and the fact that this person decided it's beneath them to inform themselves beforehand about whether this airline is compatible with their specific needs just shows what an asshole they are.

I don’t disagree at all, but I’ve been on enough flights to also not be surprised if someone from the airline company had told her it would be okay at some point.

my fav are the dozens of emotional support dogs people walk into the fucking supermarket.

you fucking prick, just because you bought a vest for your rabid chihuahua that says comfort animal does not mean it needs to be pissing inside the market.

Gives a whole new meaning to "Pissed in your cheerios."
