Wow, I think this hit a nerve! Leatherboy 2006 suggested the possibility of eating dinner next to a snake. Actually, it is probably only a matter of time before someone attempts to board with a "therapy snake" draped around their neck. My understanding is that if an airline refuses to board a "therapy" animal, etc. they may be charged with a misdemeanor. Well, how much can that possibly cost them compared to what it may cost going forward with this stupidity? Apparently we have a carelessly written law, being ridiculously interpreted. Is there no airline with the backbone to challenge this? (By the way, I am not an animal hater, and believe that trained service dogs, etc. have the same rights to access as people. However, a trained animal does not poop all over and then make a racket throughout the entire trip.)
