Tar du med kalkonen när du flyger.....?

[kaktusen]

Ibland har man själv lite konstiga saker för sig men jag brukar inte ta med en kalkon ombord planet som husdjur.

If you think that air travel has gone to the birds, it has -literally.

We're talkin' turkey, as in that big Thanksgiving bird, one of which recently was spotted aboard a Delta flight acting as a "support animal," and that's causing a flap over how passengers are using, and abusing, comfort animal rules.

So how can a turkey get on a plane? Simple. The passenger provided proper documentation proving the fowl was indeed their emotional support animal, so Delta let the bird on board, and even gave it its own seat.​

Känns lite tveksamt tycker jag personligen men man är väl förstås alldeles för vanlig och tråkig

Verkar vara ett steg i rätt riktning. Tyvärr verkar det florera en hel del falska eller åtminstone tveksamma intyg och jag vet inte om det kommer fångas av detta?

 

[jth]

Jag vet att det är vanligt att folk får med sig hundar och katter på detta sätt (tveksamma support animal-intyg) framförallt i USA. Har flera bekanta som "utnyttjar" detta. Men en kalkon ....

Deltas pressrelease var ju lite underhållande, på ett bisarrt sätt. Inte bara passagerare som får "air-rage" tydligen.

"Delta has seen an 84 percent increase in reported animal incidents since 2016, including urination/defecation, biting and even a widely reported attack by a 70-pound dog. In 2017, Delta employees reported increased acts of aggression (barking, growling, lunging and biting) from service and support animals"

Själv åkte jag med denna hunden på SK940 i juni förra året.
Sympatisk liten vovve. Hon tog sig en tur runt kabinen när matte pudrade näsan

Eller vad sägs om en liten pony?

Skönt att ha den stutsande runt i kabinen vid turbulens!

Här kommer en ny version.

"A female traveller was recently banned from taking a large "emotional-support peacock" on board a United Airlines flight, it has emerged.

She had offered to buy the bird its own plane ticket, according to travel blog Live and Let Fly.

Nonetheless the airline refused to let the bird board at Newark airport in New Jersey, saying it did not meet guidelines due to its weight and size.

United says this was explained to the traveller before she arrived at Newark.

Pictures of the striking bird and its owner, attempting to travel to Los Angeles, emerged via The Jet Set, a travel-based talk show.

The images show the animal perched on an airport baggage trolley, as fellow passengers gaze at it in shock."

Är det inte kärnvapenkrig som gör att mänskligheten går under, så är det vår dumhet.

Strålande! Skönt att se att United står upp för det som rimligtvis är rätt och riktigt. Sådana här dumheter måste få ett slut!

Slut att ta med annat än hundar


The most relevant part:
Although airlines may choose to transport other species of animals, such as cats, miniature horses, and capuchin monkeys, that assist individuals with disabilities in the cabin for free pursuant to an established airline policy, they would only be required under Federal law to recognize trained dogs as service animals.

press release:
The U.S. Department of Transportation today announced that it is revising its Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) regulation on the transportation of service animals by air to ensure a safe and accessible air transportation system. The final rule on Traveling by Air with Service Animals can be found HERE.

The Department received more than 15,000 comments on the notice of proposed rulemaking. The final rule announced today addresses concerns raised by individuals with disabilities, airlines, flight attendants, airports, other aviation transportation stakeholders, and other members of the public, regarding service animals on aircraft.

The final rule:

• Defines a service animal as a dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of a person with a disability;
• No longer considers an emotional support animal to be a service animal;
• Requires airlines to treat psychiatric service animals the same as other service animals;
• Allows airlines to require forms developed by DOT attesting to a service animal’s health, behavior and training, and if taking a long flight attesting that the service animal can either not relieve itself, or can relieve itself in a sanitary manner;
• Allows airlines to require individuals traveling with a service animal to provide the DOT service animal form(s) up to 48 hours in advance of the date of travel if the passenger’s reservation was made prior to that time;
• Prohibits airlines from requiring passengers with a disability who are traveling with a service animal to physically check-in at the airport instead of using the online check-in process;
• Allows airlines to require a person with a disability seeking to travel with a service animal to provide the DOT service animal form(s) at the passenger’s departure gate on the date of travel;
• Allows airlines to limit the number of service animals traveling with a single passenger with a disability to two service animals;
• Allows airlines to require a service animal to fit within its handler’s foot space on the aircraft;
• Allows airlines to require that service animals be harnessed, leashed, or tethered at all times in the airport and on the aircraft;
• Continues to allow airlines to refuse transportation to service animals that exhibit aggressive behavior and that pose a direct threat to the health or safety of others; and
• Continues to prohibit airlines from refusing to transport a service animal solely based on breed.
