Delta fails to ban service pit bulls on flights

I need a service goat.  They're very smart. Trust me, it's how you treat them.

A service fire ant farm, it's very calming to watch.

Service tarantula. They're fuzzy.

I need a service creepy clown. What else do people have phobias about that I can bring onboard?

Delta tried to ban pitbulls as service dogs because they've had small dog attacks on flights. Like a plane isn't already hyper confined as it is. Imagine a pitbull attack on a trans-Atlantic 3-seater coach flight.

It takes very little to qualify any animal as emotional support because they don't require training. Here's a list of actual support animals - Delta actually had to ban snakes.

Update 9/25/19: Delta defiant about not letting pit bulls on board planes

Pit bulls still aren’t welcome on Delta Air Lines.

Delta says it hasn’t figured out how to ensure passengers’ safety around pits bulls, so it’s continuing a ban it imposed last year.

The decision seems contrary to recent guidance from the federal government. The Transportation Department said in August that it thinks banning specific breeds is a violation of regulations covering service animals.

Delta says it had more than 40 cases of aggressive animal behavior on planes last year. A Delta passenger was mauled badly in 2017, although the dog was a lab-pointer mix.

Kitty Block, president of the Humane Society of the United States, calls the ban discriminatory and misguided. The American Veterinary Medical Association says any dog can bite, and regulations aimed at specific breeds aren’t effective.
