The Department of Transportation is considering new rules that would restrict service animals on airplanes to specially trained dogs.

Service animals would be restricted to dogs that are specially trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of a person with a disability.

“This is a wonderful step in the right direction for people like myself who are dependent on and reliant on legitimate service animals,” he. Some people, he said, “want to have the benefits of having a disability without actually losing the use of their limbs or senses just so they can take their pet with them.”

WHY?

FINALLY!! No one cares about the other passengers. I have a severe allergy to cats. I take prescrption allergy medicine daily. I'm always afraid someone will bring a cat on a flight & I'll be stuck in a metal tube traveling going 100's of miles an hour....

Good now get these fake 'support animals' out of grocery stores, restaurants, etc...

About time

This is illegal.

Be very careful of crossing ethnic cultures!

Most of the so called emotional support animals are pets that are a physical threat & health hazard. At a local office supply store we watched in horror as a large mongrel wagged his tail & rubbed his butt in & on the snack display of M&Ms at the checkout line. GROSS

Just another day in Trumpworld, in which people in need (in this case those who need 'support animals') are tossed to the curb. I'm not one, it's not an issue for me. But it's part of a pattern where if you are somehow 'weak' the administration will find a way to kick you.

And next they will do away with disabled people being on flights

Good

Should be the department of health.

Federal proposal would allow airlines to block emotional support animals from flyingIt's a crackdown the industry has sought amid concerns some passengers are bringing their untrained pets aboard by fraudulently passing them as emotional support animals. Any animal on a flight needs to be contained in a container that prevents physical interaction with other people. Also a separate seating section should be used so people with animal allergies can be seated away from the animals. I wouldn't board a plane with a snake or a tarantula or peacock or rodent. Why should 99.83% of us give up OUR rights to appease the feelings of .17% of the population? We just need better certifications for support animals that every owner should have to provide.
