Support Animals? Going too far?

^^^^^^ I'd agree to that, at least the bird is dressed for going out in public.
And does less screaming.

Why would a peacock scream on a crashing airplane? When the plane starts to dive, he just has to get out, even at 10,000 feet.

How is my imaginary llama going to fit at my feet. Plus I will have to choose between my goldfish and my llama. I need the llama for flying and my goldfish for using public washrooms (don’t ask)

If the Llama is imaginary then the space at your feet can be imagined to be much larger.

As to the Goldfish how do you manage to get them out of the bowl before the auto flush starts?

Someone had to and it's my thread.

Well Alan they can't fly very fast, or high /low so I imagine he would be screaming as loudly as me.
And that's before take off
So you CAN bring a horse * looking around to see who has a My Little Pony on this forum*
Dirtybiker has one but it's pink, not a pink Woman

OH YES, peacocks can fly. I used to have 2 of them, I am speaking from 1st hand experience. They are a member of the pheasant family.

but like I said not far. Reminds me of a guy I knew and his pet rooster.
City dweller, rooster crowed and was well a rooster, so one day he came home from school and Arthur was gone. His Mom said Arthur flew off with seagulls. For far too long he would see and flock of gulls fly overhead and look for Arthur :)
Well played Mom who was sick of the bird

Now the support animals have support animals.

I wish to confirm that my support tiger can be a support for my support baboon.

Seriously, this is determing my future in flying.

fwisheswerehorses Thanks for posting that article. A Turkey! I agree it does affect people who really need service/support animals. I'm used to guide dogs ( worked with CNIB) but a support dog for a dog is a first.
I have a friend has a support bunny, not for her she takes it to Senior centers etc to cuddle with the residents.

That's a bit different in where the animal is just friendly with everyone. A proper support animal is one which is "trained" to give either emotional support or actual physical support to a person with disabilities. The disability can be physical or mental/emotional as in PTST. I have no problem with those. I'm sure in some cases different animals can help a person with stress just by being there but if you need to take it on a plane or you can't fly then I suggest you fine a different way to get to where you want to go.

Other passengers have rights too.

When I had just gotten to GF I was laying in my bed when I saw a little dog go by. When it came by again I called out, “can I pet your dog?” She brought the dog in, it was a Labradoodle working as a therapy dog. It was much needed therapy, I hadn’t seen my doodle in over 3 weeks. I didn’t realize the importance of these working dogs.

They are extremely important.

I took the kitty which is my avatar to Sutherland Hills a few times to show my Aunt my new cat. The other residents were over the moon. Some really wanted to see him.

There was one woman rocking and calling out. I have no idea to this moment why I did it but I took Maestro over to her and put him in her lap. It could have gone all wrong. But it didn't. He sensed something, something important and settled down into her lap. She stopped rocking, stopped calling out and briefly placed her hands on his fur. I held my breathe. Seriously afraid someone would interupt, or scare him. But she continued to pet him and I waited for as long as I thought possible before making the heart wrenching decision we had to go. It was a magical few minutes, maybe 10, but cats being cats, I could see him starting to look around.

Some care homes have resident animals, dogs and cats.

Any being can fly when they start from altitude.
Some just figured out how to land better than others.

We have also learned that Pigs can fly.



Given enough thrust.
