A new rule allows airlines in the US to ban emotional support animals from riding in the cabin, ending a system that led to everything from turtles to pigs, snakes, and even turkeys riding alongside their owners.
Last year, the Department of Transportation issued guidance stating that dogs, cats, and miniature horses could be accepted as service animals for transport — but on Wednesday, the agency reversed course, announcing that only dogs are to be considered legitimate service animals on commercial flights after passengers scammed the system to transport "unusual" pets in the cabin.
Now if they would just ban them from grocery stores...having a dog's rear in the cart you put your food in isn't quite appealing.
No worse than germy, slobbery, snotty kids.
Stores generally provide wipes to clean your cart if your concerned about germs or butt hole residue, or you could bring your own wipes.
As I recall under the ADA, miniature horses must be accepted as service animals as well. I wonder if the article writer, or even the DoT is confusing the terms. ESAs aren't service animals under the ADA.
