The whole thing is just silly. If you can’t fly without an animal take the bus. I have been an airline employee for almost 20 years and while nothing surprises me anymore, Im always bemused when a crew member calls me and asks, “Can we take a(n)******* in the cabin?” I always say no. The one time I couldn’t not find anything that said we couldn’t take a spider, we took a 30 min delay because the passenger seated next to the see through box holding the spider, understandably objected and asked to be moved. The problem then became no one would sit next to the person with the tarantula. I thought the passenger who brought it was terribly selfish..
I would gladly sit next to a tarantula.
Probably behaves much better than some humans I have sat next to...................for hours..................
