I am against all of it....a dog for a blind person is one thing...I do not buy this “emotional” support pet one bit and I sure as hell don’t want someone with a slobbering, smelly pet sitting next to me, let alone having a snake ...

Horses can control their bodily functions if they are trained to do that. People have very successfully bathroom trained horses for many years. Race horses are taught to urinate on command for drug tests. Many horses have been completely potty trained for public events where they need to be. A lot of people potty train minis and allow them to live in their homes.

Not something I have ever had a need to train a horse for but it has been being done for a long time for many reasons. I don’t agree with letting horses fly with people, but that part of it is a manageable thing if they are properly trained for that.

As a former constant traveler, your fellow passengers are often “smelly slobbery” enough!

Well, a bobcat is a cat, isn’t it? And the ones around here aren’t any worse than alley cats (except for when they eat small dogs).

And the rights of the other passengers? As usual, the rights of the many are trashed in favor of the few.

But I wanted to bring my Clydesdale.

The other day, there were two dogs in Wally World. A little pocket sized that was being held and not leash and a medium sized hound on a leash. Neither had their special service jacket on.

I’ve found that protesting loudly, “But these body lice are my emotional support animals!” gets you a seat all by yourself...

“Emotional support” animals - never mind the stress they cause for everyone else seated near the hothouse flower who can’t board a plane without his or her pet. What nonsense - if you’re so emotionally fragile that you can’t fly without an animal sitting with you, you have more important things to worry about than travel.

If there’s an inch of space someone will take it. It’s a cattle car.

Tell Southwest it identifies as a horse trapped in a cow’s body.
