Dogs Get Bathroom Of Their Own At JFK
CBS New York ^ | April 30, 2016

Dogs and other animals now have a bathroom of their own at New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport.

A new pet relief facility has opened in JFK’s Terminal 4, WCBS 880’s Stephanie Colombini reported. It allows service and guide dogs, emotional support animals and pets traveling with their owners to go to the bathroom without having to exit the terminal and go through security again.

The tiny room is marked with a paw print on the door. It’s outfitted with a red fire hydrant and a patch of artificial turf, 1010 WINS’ Carol D’Auria reported.

A federal regulation says all airports serving more than 10,000 passengers per year must install a pet relief areas in every terminal by this August.

Cleaning that facility with a rag and scrub brush would be ideal punishment for offenders who get to do community service.

Dogs get their own bathroom but women don’t.

That is racist, sexist, ablist, xenophobic, transphobic, homophobic, and specist. What bathroom are cats supposed to use? Transpecist dogs who identify as cats need to go somewhere

Yes.. but the more important question is... Are they gender neutral?

I bet it smells like heaven to dogs. Going in there is probably like leisurely reading autobiographies of 100s of interesting and fascinating people at once.

I think dogs should be able to pick whichever restroom they align with.

And can those that identify as dogs use the dog only restroom?

My dogs and cats have their own restrooms. They shiite on my lawn and I yell at the lady next door “Your dog shit over here, AGAIN” and she comes over and polices the place. I love being evilly ingenious.

I simply can’t believe hotels now allow pets.

I was a chain-hotel recently and woke at 6 AM to the sound of a dog barking non-stop.

knowing how irresponsible some owners can be - I won’t stay at a hotel that allows dogs. I now check it before making a booking.
