    The same hopefully goes for all humans to certify they are potty trained?

    Have an emotional support animal? Fuck off. That’s not a get out of consequences free pass.

    Unless this varies wildly by country, it’s not. And the major reason for your downvotes would be that this is exactly how it works already. You need paperwork to be allowed a support animal on a plane.

      Interestingly the only paperwork you need is a document from a vet that says the animal is healthy. If the flight is more than 8 hours then you also need a document from the vet that the animal can go the entire flight without reliving itself.

      I don’t think that’s what people mean when they say “people should be required to provide documentation when bringing a service animal on a plane”.

        However, in the specific case in question here, isn’t someone certifying that the animal can go without relieving itself the most relevant piece of documentation? 😂

          There’s not really enough info in the article to say for sure, but I don’t think it takes over 8 hours to fly from Houston to Seattle, so that requirement probably didn’t apply.
