Southwest Airlines Sets New Limits On Travelers’ Pets–Only Dogs, Cats And Horses
Hot Air ^ | August 17, 2018 | Andrew Malcolm

Like many airlines, Southwest has been working on new policies to rein in passenger abuse of generous “emotional support” animal guidelines. Customers have successfully flown with support spiders, snakes, possums, raccoons and, of course, cats and dogs, even large slobbering ones shedding fur.

Southwest will only allow miniature horses but how can the airline allow an animal that has zero control over its bodily functions?

So I get a cup a coffee and give my foot a push. Me and the pigmy pony over by the dental floss bush.

There no room for horses of any size. Hell, I’m not a big guy and there’s barely room for me.

Congress needs to put an end to this animal nonsense.

No animals on board common carrier or open charter airplanes, except in cages in the cargo hold as paid freight.

No exceptions for the blind or others.

Only dogs, cats and horses? Here's a recent photo of me on the way to the airport. Well, I guess I won't be flying Southwest any more.

The wife once flew with a miniature horse. Peferctly behaved and no pee or poop. They can be trained to hold it.

There is no first class on Southwest so the Clintons would never fly them.
They stick a horse on my flight and it might be the last time I fly Southwest.
And I like flying Southwest!!!
