SEATTLE (KOMO) — Alaska Airlines announced Tuesday it will no longer accept emotional support animals in the passenger cabin on its flights.
It's about time that sanity finally bites these babies in their collective behinds!
Beginning Jan. 11, 2021, Alaska will only allow service dogs, which are specially trained to perform tasks for the benefit of a qualified individual with a disability. Airlines argued that passengers abused the situation to bring a menagerie of animals on board including cats, turtles, pot-bellied pigs and, in one case, a peacock.
Those animals were never trained to do anything useful; they were simply pets - and often problematic ones at that.
