Any flight attendants here?

If so, how do you feel about miniature horses being allowed on board and what do you do when one of them poops? I've been curious about this after seeing a video of one in an airport and then standing there during the flight. And it was followed up by a photo of the flight crew posing for pictures with it. (Idiots, imo.) I wonder if anyone has given thought to what's going to happen if there is turbulence and that animal is tossed around and hurts the human population onboard.

It's just insane what goes on today.

I don't fly. This sounds like a bad idea.

Why is it not in a crate under the plane where the cargo goes?

I would not get on a plane with a mini horse. All animals should be below.

They're allowed because it's an emotional support animal.

I had no idea they were considered emotional support animals.

It's not kept in a crate because from what I read they are allowed as service animals.

We must have been posting at the same time and I was trying to think of the term "emotional support" Thank you

I wonder how many tickets does the person have to purchase to accommodate the animal....they don't ride free do they? Frankly I am not interested in flying with a horse on board.

What if someone is allergic to horses? Miniature horses are bigger than you think. My neighbors have them. Does the flight attendant have to clean up after the horse? I bet you can’t take one on a flight to Europe.

Niether would I @Nightowlz . I'd also asked to have my seat changed if I had to sit next to an uncrated dog.

I wouldn't want to sit in the same row as a horse.

Does this horse require a special vehicle? Does it sit in a car?

@GSPgirl

If you are allergic you are removed from the plane if there are no other seats. The horse stays. It's happened before with other pets. I know this isn't a popular opinion but the whole 'emotional support' thing is asinine.
