Anyone else see this? Someone brought their turkey along for the ride and the airline let them.

Flying turkey ruffles feathers about 'emotional support' animals on planes | Fox News

"We're talkin' turkey, as in that big Thanksgiving bird, one of which recently was spotted aboard a Delta flight acting as a "support animal," and that's causing a flap over how passengers are using, and abusing, comfort animal rules."

I joke about getting papers for my dog. I may just have to do it one day.

I'm sorry to say this but if you need your pet turkey with you 24/7 perhaps you should stay home or drive to your destination.

At least my emotional support grasshopper doesn't require me to buy an extra seat!

That turkey may well have been the best behaved passenger on the flight.

They treated that turkey a heckuva lot better than they treat human passengers on flights.

another story I read cited a few instances of animals not approved as emotional support pets -spiders and snakes.
turkeys are ok I guess.

Anyone that needs a turkey as an emotional support animal on a plane is too mentally ill to be on a plane without a human caregiver or assistant with them.

I know a few people who claim their pet is an emotional support animal just to get them on a plane.


What it really comes down to is the PC brigade has everyone in such a tight grip that they are afraid say NO anymore in fear of discrimination or hurting someones feelings.
