Blow holes should never be allowed to fly.

How about an emotional support beehive ?
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I'm a little miffed that they can't accommodate my emotional support halibut, tbh

Maybe if you have a doctor's note and threaten to go to the media, they'll let your "emotional support" elephant on lol.

-Teresa

If the elephant can fit through the jet way and airplane door, it can come.

And emotional support isn't just found in the realm of animals. I could imagine a person having an emotional support cubic meter of concrete.

Or an emotional support 50 foot steel I-beam.

People bitch way too much about kids on airplanes. "I don't want to have to sit next to a crying baby!" Yeah, well neither do I so do us all a fucking favor and shut the fuck up about it. You don't get to dictate where people take their children.

As for emotional support animals... I don't think taking a peacock on an airplane would be comfortable for the peacock. I think requiring emotional support animals to have a letter from a vet seems reasonable. You CAN bring your pets via cargo if necessary.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

Cargo compartment on a passenger jet is typically not heated.  Pet will arrive frozen solid after a long flight.

My requirements are slight.  Just a few kilos of u-235 and two well behaved adult coconut crabs on leashes.

It can go with checked luggage.

Yes you/other people do. Think about it.
