Apparently, any animal can be designated as an emotional support animal.. This is a hilarious article in the New Yorker magazine:

Soooo, um......WHY did US Air allow the PIG on the aircraft in the FIRST place????

Gotta tell ya-If I had a pig (animal kind not human kind) on a flight I was on, I'd be raising *ell with someone!

Ridiculous.

This is really the question that needs to be asked.

They have the same emotional brain capacity as a dog we just disregard that to murder and eat them. And just because he is not a small one doesn't mean he is not cute.

I grew up on a pig farm - there is absolutely nothing about these filthy creatures that is cute. Good Heavens!

Pigs are wise ... and clean

Here's the dirt on pigs: They are perhaps the smartest, cleanest domestic animals known - more so than cats and dogs, according to some experts. But pigs don't have sweat glands, so they roll around in the mud to stay cool. A sign of their cleverness came from experiments in the 1990s. Pigs were trained to move a cursor on a video screen with their snouts and used the cursor to distinguish between scribbles they knew and those they were seeing for the first time. They learned the task as quickly as chimpanzees.

"Support pig" my a##! That's what I say in our local Publix a few months ago a lady (in a scooter about mid 50s) & her daughter (ugh!) are alongside me waiting at the lunch meat counter holding this dog and nestling it, letting it run around the area -- I said oh cute dog (and I steamed since had no markings of aid dog) she said thanks. I said is he a therapy dog? Oh no she said just that my daughter doesn't like to leave her home! OMG I went off on her I don't want a dog walking around my store unless necessary. I went to mgt he looked at me and said "well we can't ask her to leave as that would be discrimination" WHAT".....no need to tell you what I said! Haven't seen the dog w/ that lady since!

It wasn't the pig that offended me, it was the poop!

I posted some information earlier in this thread; don't know if you saw it. Your post is correct, though.

There are many wonderful things about a pig. It doesn't matter as this wasn't a farm flight. I feel it is pushing it with the emotional dog thing as it is.

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

I saw your earlier post about pigs. It isn't surprising somehow though that Happy Housewife grew up ON a pig farm yet knows nothing about pigs. Especially their lack of sweat glands which is what causes them to roll around in mud to keep cool.
