The title is completely misleading. How is Delta growing a pair? All they're doing is trying to shift liability in the even something happens onboard.
The owner of the pet needs to provide proof of vaccines and will have to sign a statement saying their pet is well behaved. They're not doing anything that's going to curb how many people bring emotional support animals onboard, all they're doing is trying to shift who gets blamed if there's another biting incident onboard.

The Company cannot refuse to take these animals (well, they can but only under special circumstances and the possibility of a lawsuit) but they CAN make it harder for the animals to be accommodated, which is what is happening here.

My call to the occ provided we cudnt deny ES. Exploring the FA angle their book provides DB only if deemed aggressive prior to boarding.
And any adjacent pax to ES pax with an issue would be rebooked on another flight.
So one ES pax could potentially result in multiple rebooks of pax who dont want to spend 4.5 hrs sitting next to a 60lb pit bull.

Some Pet Owners Game the Emotional Support Animal System to Fly Pets for Free - ABC News
"Federal regulations allow a legitimate emotional support animal, whether it be a dog, a cat, a pot-bellied pig or even a miniature horse in one case, to travel on airplanes in the cabin with the owner, outside of a carrier, and for free if the owner has proper documentation, which means a letter from a doctor or other mental health professional. The animal must be well-behaved and there must be adequate space onboard. The airlines are allowed to ask people traveling with emotional support animals for that documentation, but they are not required to."
