Dogs are getting out of control at a lot of business places. You can't even go into Home Depot now without seeing multiple people who feel it's necessary to take their dog shopping. Pretty sad. No emotional support dogs should be on the plane at all. If someone needs emotional support they certainly should not be flying.
It has gotten ridiculous. I would be more accepting if ESA's were screened and trained like true service animals (which they should be IMHO). I am guilty of bringing one of my dogs into places like Home Depot,,, but we were training her and asked permission first. This was a dog that would heal off leash in a run, drop on command, and recall through a pack of dogs and people, completely ignoring them. She was a Pit mix BTW

By georgia law that really isnt a problem. You need to catch the dog on video the animal control officer admitted. The owner was given a warning.
I really have a low tolerance for dogs now. And funny you mentioned home depot, a few years ago my 3 year old and I were walking in a home depot and she turned the corner ahead of me and came face to face with a large pit being walked by a clueless young woman on a long leash. Never considered someone would bring a dog into a home depot.
Pit owners love their dogs, I understand that to a point. But they're not the ones who deal the rest of their lives with their face being mauled. Well. Except maybe the ones killed by their pits.
If my family member was attacked by a dog on a delta flight I'm suing the **** out of the owner and delta.

Does the legal phrase “ must accommodate” mean must allow to ride free? If not, there is an easy fix. Charge $200 for the animal in a crate in the cargo and charge $300 to go in the cabin. Make it clear to the passenger that it’s cheaper for the animal to ride in a crate.

Amen to that. Especially the ones requiring a dog for “emotional support.” You should not even leave the house if you’re that squeamish of society and scared. Never mind try and go through the airline travel process and get on an airline flight with turbulence, tight spaces, and big crowds! That’s what makes most of these people full of $hit.
