Mundy entered the plane with the dog crated. When he sat in his seat he let the dog out to sit on his lap so he could play with it during boarding. He lost control of the dog for some reason. They were all taken off the plane and that flight left after statements were taken. The man injured was taken to a hospital. With all the statements in hand, the police released Mundy and his dog who were placed on a later flight. Since this happened on the 4th and nothing new has come out, it's going to be played out in the courts.
Read THE link, MPowering is correct. The emotional support dog bit the passenger. After they were escorted off the plane the dog was crated and allow to fly on a different flight.
No idea where you read the bolded, it is nowhere in the article.
Quote:
The flight was delayed while both passengers and the dog got off the plane.
A police report said the victim, Marlin Termaine Jackson of Daphne, Ala., was transported to the hospital “in stable condition, but severe injury to the face due to several dog bites.”
The police report listed the dog’s owner, Ronald Kevin Mundy Jr. of Mills River, N.C., as a military service member with the U.S. Marine Corps who “advised that the dog was issued to him for support.” The dog is listed in the police report as a “chocolate lab pointer mix.”
The dog was secured inside a dog crate and released to Mundy, who was not charged, according to the police report. He was allowed to fly with his dog in the kennel, according to Delta.
What do you think about emotional support animals being allowed on airplanes?
Personally, I think its a bunch of bull crap to allow such a thing. Riding on an airplane is already stressful and cramped. Allowing people to bring their untrained animals to sit next to other passengers is just wrong.
Doesn't everybody have pets that support them emotionally? I mean, you don't have an animal because it causes you grief...you have them because they make you feel good.
My plane is occasionally used for charters. I have an unequivocal rule. No pets allowed onboard. Period.
The dog should not have been taken out of its crate. Passenger is completely at fault. One of my children is very allergic to dogs and this would have been a nightmare flight for her. At the very least, the dog should have had a muzzle or not been taken out of its crate.
When the driver walks into a store unassisted after parking their car in a handicapped spot.
Handicaps come in all shapes and sizes. It doesn't mean you need a wheelchair, crutches etc. some people have heart problems and can't walk far. You never know.
Like people with handicap stickers who should not have them.
People who have handicap placards have Doctors who beg to differ. Doctors fill out forms for those placards to be created. Doctors must fill out the form and complete it by signing it and listing their lic# on it. So if you have a problem with a legal placard, contact the Doctor who decided it was medically necessary for the person to have one. Emotional support animals require a person to legally qualify for an emotional support animal (ESA), he/she must be considered emotionally disabled by a licensed mental health professional (therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, etc.), as evidenced by a properly formatted prescription letter.

Which can be done for $69 and filling out a brief questionnaire on the Internet without the "professional" ever laying eyes on the person.
