I'll bet you can't potty train a peacock. Who's going to clean up all the bird poop? Some people are unbelievable.
BTW have you heard a peacock call? They are very very loud, sounds like a person yelling Help!

Yeah, I try to be sympathetic with the broad use of assistance pets. That said, I really had a hard time with that one.

My mind visualizes the service flight with every other seat occupied by cats and dogs and birds and pigs....
Yes this is my mastiff, he'll be needing two seats.

I am all for trained service animals but companion or comfort animals have to go. I have allergies to cats and dogs. You can't believe what it is like to have someone sit next to you for three or four hours with some little dog in a purse just because they couldn't leave Fluffy home (my sister does it all of the time). Where are my rights? I paid for my ticket just like they did.

It is more than likely that these animals have had no training and can be downright nasty. There have been instances where the companion animals have attacked true service dogs. Sad!

For service animals, I will sit there and suffer because I'm sure that their problems are far worse than mine.

I've kind of wondered how folks with allergies deal with this sort of thing. Don't know how my pet peacock will make a trip with us now......how disappointing.

I don't have peacock allergies but don't be surprised if it has less feathers when you get off the plane.
