American Airlines flight attendant bitten by emotional support dog, requires five stitches (laws, New York)

[Suburban_Guy]

And yet another incident with these stupid things.

An American Airlines flight attendant was bitten by an emotional support dog on a flight from Dallas to North Carolina Monday, prompting union calls to further tighten rules on in-flight animals.

The incident occurred on American flight 3506 from Dallas-Fort Worth to Greensboro, North Carolina, an American Eagle flight operated by Envoy Air, a subsidiary of American. The plane was an Embraer 175, a regional jet.

There needs to be a FREE up to 5 year license for true service dogs. Everything else does not qualify.

If you need an emotional support dog, you should be under watch, on meds, and possibly under lock and key. Absurd

Now this is a lawsuit I would get behind. Im a dog lover. I have owned dogs since I was a boy. My dogs dont bite people. Why because they are well disciplined and under control.

Good, pity the attendant has to suffer, but when enough incidents occur, the rules will change.

Emotional support dog, for one of today's snowflakes I'm sure.

Yesterday saw a woman walking through a store with her "service animal." At least that what it said on the vest.

I have my doubts as she had a muzzle on the dog.

What service dog is so poorly trained it needs a muzzle?

Exactly right - and that's no exaggeration.

No dogs of any kind in an airliner cabin - period - no exceptions - no debate - no discussion. This kind of lunacy will continue for as long as we continue to elevate the agenda of misfits and bottom-feeders over that of society's civil and productive.

This is the same lunacy - just a different setting - that New York City police face today on the job. That it continues to the consternation of every socially sane person is a measure of just how deadly political correctness continues to be to freedom and civilization itself.

Sounds like the support dog was too emotional ...

And hopefully left at home.
