Not sure why you were down voted since it's absolutely an example of why we can't have nice things.
There are properly trained support animals that their owners are absolutely justified in having.
But sadly, there are also definitely some folks taking advantage in order to bring their poorly behaved pets into places they wouldn't otherwise be allowed. It's pretty disgusting actually.
From the story – there's absolutely no excuse for this:
> In June, a 70-pound support dog mauled a passenger on a Delta flight in Atlanta, biting the man’s face multiple times.
Disclosure: dog owner for many years.

- js2 9y agoThanks. I didn't know the difference till now. Apparently w/regards to airlines, ESA's fall under the Air Carrier Access Act. From what I've read, the ACAA is less restrictive than the ADA (which only requires service animals be allowed access) but airlines can be more restrictive than FHAA. I wish we could have nice things, but this is why we end up needing licenses/permits/fines.
