Lanice Powless, a University of Colorado student, was flying to California from Denver International Airport when she said a Southwest Airlines employee informed her that she would not be allowed to bring her pink beta fish, Cassie, onboard with her. Powless had gotten the fish her freshman year of college to combat loneliness she was feeling being away at school. The two formed a fast friendship, Powless said to 10News.

It’s an airport.
Did she have a license for her pet fish?
Are fish considered emotional support animals??
I heard airlines are restricting these creatures, as they have gone far beyond seeing eye dogs and dogs trained for emotional support. People have brought pigs and miniature horses and peacocks. Where do you draw the line?
Right !!!
>> Big lawsuit coming?<<
Fish can’t sue.
Seriously, I don’t see why SW didn’t let this fish on. It isn’t like an animal that can bother anyone. How it got past TSA in liquid is maybe a different question.
>>id she have a license for her pet fish?<<
Yes, it is named Eric.
“The airline spokesperson also told the outlet that Powless was offered a later flight so she could make arrangements for her fish, but she allegedly did not take the offer.”
That says it all.
She didn’t give a damn about her “pet”,she wants attention.
.
They would share chips together.
Geez, no wonder this girl is lonely, if that is what she considers a "fast friendship"... Guys in her vicinity: You are doing well to stay far away...
She had company - the lady next to her as forced to leave her starving cat ...
Yep...nothing “combats loneliness” like a “pet” fish...so damn cuddly, they are! /s
Says John Cleese
good one!
He’s an ‘alibut!
My pet fish Eric.
She should have brought a flying fish.
I have known people who flew on airlines when they were less than 10 years old and sitting alone. These people had less problems than this girl. She is just not yet mature enough to fly.
As Michelle Obama may have said “All this, for a FISH?”
