Also,don't know if you read about this...a month or so ago there was a story of an El Al flight where a group of “ultra Orthodox” Jewish men refused to sit next to women because of some claimed requirement of Judaism.IIRC this caused a serous disruption but I don't recall how it was resolved (or even *if* it was resolved).

Is there a weight limit for carry-on pigs?

I'm calling my lawyer.

What happened to stoicism?

I SO agree with you! I raised a guide dog pup once (for 14 months) for a reputable, accredited guide dog organization and know the farce of "self trained" support animals and even unaccredited places that train poorly.

Want a dog that will lead you into traffic when it's not clear?? Yeah, that's what I mean.

These people that go around with "support" ponies or pigs or snakes....a load of doodoo.

Crazy people are taking animals calling them :service animals” and imposing their will on the general public. Complain about it, and you get sued.

No weight limit but there is a size restriction:

If this disturbed woman is so emotionally fragile that she “needs” her emotional support pig with her, the fool should never leave the protection of her home. Weak.

So - she went through security and nobody noticed she had a pig instead of a duffel bag?

I knew somsone with an emotional support cat that she was allowed to bring onto airplanes while on a leash. I wondered how the people who were allergic to cats felt about that.

If you need a pig to fly you are probably too unstable to fly..

Let the “emotional support pig” puns commence...

James Heath wrote a song called "Nurture My Pig!"

Butanyway, I went to a restaurant here in liberal Austin land where a group brought a dog that they tried to pass off as a service dog—but clearly wasn't. A real service dog lays quiet under the table. This one kept crawling out to try and meet with other diners. Given the establishment and the town, I thought for sure the staff was going to let it slide. To my surprise, the owner guardian was politely asked to leave the dog their animal-compansion outside. First time I ever saw a liberal lay down the law for another.

I hope Geico Pig takes ‘em to the cleaners! It wouldn’t be right if light-skinned pigs can fly but dark-skinned ones are ordered off! :-D

[BradyLS]

Great point. I’m surprised it wasn’t confiscated by the TSA.

[Truth is a Weapon]

Exactly what I was thinking. Did anyone ask how TSA’s vigilant screening to protect the public missed a pig?

36 posts without this? You guys are slipping.

Wonder how the pig felt about being mistaken for a duffle bag.

[grey_whiskers]

Oh, feh. Remember, we're talking *PIGS* here. Remember 9-11? Well, pigs act as jihad repellent!

[grey_whiskers]

Post of the *thread*!

(Consider yourself *highly* commended...)

Cheers!
