Your next flight on American Airlines won’t look like this

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , “support” animals in the following groups will no longer be welcome in American Airlines airplane cabins:

Amphibians

Ferrets

Goats

Hedgehogs

Insects

Reptiles

Rodents

Snakes

Spiders

Sugar gliders

Non-household birds (farm poultry, waterfowl, game birds, & birds of prey)

Animals with tusks, horns or hooves (excluding miniature horses properly trained as service animals)

Any animal that is unclean / has an odor

Why, in 2018, people need to be told their goat cannot fly coach is just stupefying.

We live in such strange times. Also, I’m glad I can still bring my emotional support Tuna in the plane. No ban on fish it appears.

Snakes

Someone said must’ve said enough is enough, and have had it with them.

That falls under reptiles. I’m not sure why the separated snakes from that group though.

Because people are stupid, more and more think they are a special snow flake and rules and regulations don’t apply to them because they’ve ‘seen somewhere where a person did it so they can’ (they didn’t), they have to told specifically what they can and can’t do and hate any form of authority that tries to explain it why they can’t do what they want to do.

I’m looking at you ‘citizens of the world, your laws don’t apply to me because I didn’t say they could’.

Argh, let me get off this planet.

Truth is stranger than fiction, it’s been said. I’m a believer.

Fine! I’ll take him in my car then

It can be difficult to walk the aisles to the bathroom, but ESPECIALLY difficult when there is a miniature horse in the way. Guess I’ll be packing some apples and carrots for my next flight. That will get ol’ Bessy out of my way.

Doesn’t say anything about sheep!

Wouldn’t sheep fall under animals with hooves?

Damnit! You’re probably right.

No more smoking on planes anyway.

No mention of vinegaroons so this cute little thing can still help keep everyone calm.

They should probably just say “arachnids” because somebody is going to argue their pet Scorpion is still allowed, sooner or later.

WTF is a sugar glider? Are there people out there who say, with conviction and an entirely straight face, “This is my therapy sugar glider.”

Little flying squirrel-like things, although I think they’re a marsupial.

Sugar gliders are about the only thing in Australia that isn’t trying to kill you, except maybe by teh kyoot.

I just want it to be legal to ask for proof that an animal is actually a support animal.

I don’t know, looks like he could gnaw through your jugular if he wanted to.

Sorry Charlie...

In America, almost certainly.

Can we extend this to people that are unclean / have an odor?

I should be able to handle flying without my support duck as long as I know everybody will smell nice / not smell at all.
