Woman with an emotional support squirrel banned from Frontier Airlines flight

JackStraw77 · Oct 10, 2018

This is a new twist. I previously posted about emotional support animals on flights. This time the passenger was banned because it was not an animal. Rodents are not permitted on Frontier Airlines flights.

A woman was removed from a flight after an airline refused to let her fly with her 'emotional support squirrel'.
Frontier Airlines got police to escort the woman off the plane after she brought the rodent onto the flight from Orlando to Cleveland last night.
The passenger told the airline in her reservation she would be boarding with an animal, but she was taken off the plane because the firm did not know it was a squirrel, according to FOX8.
She was told of the airline's policy but refused to leave when asked by staff and so Orlando Police were called to remove her while every passenger was also forced to disembark.

Emotional support animals bullshit got out of hand a long time ago...

If you're 90% blind and have a dog for assistance, okay that's understandable. Legit.

But I've watched this evolve over the last several decades and every step of the way it's been bullshit. I remember when they first started allowing dogs in restaurants. I will not go into a restaurant if there's a fucking dog sitting at the foot of someone else's table.

Fucking ridiculous.

Considering 15%-20% of the U.S. population is on psychiatric drugs, nothing surprises me anymore.

we're a nation of fucking idiots, and we enable and encourage this idiocy

CoolBreeze22 · Oct 10, 2018

Idiotic. People who pull shit like this, cause disturbances on planes, and argue and cuss at airport staff should be banned from flying for life.

Just when you think you've heard it all...Lol.

I would of loved the opportunity to throw a rotten tomato at that pigs face and boo the living piss out of her while she was being escorted out

Since squirrels rarely bite unless they've been cornered or feel threatened, the pests are typically able to coexist with humans with little issue. However, they do carry and transmit a handful of diseases, which makes their presence undesirable and occasionally dangerous:

Salmonellosis - Salmonella bacteria found in their droppings causes diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever.
Lyme disease - spread by the ticks squirrels carry and symptoms include nerve pain, stiffness, and inflammation of the brain or spinal cord.
Tularemia - an unpleasant condition that brings about swollen lymph nodes and ulcers.
Leptospirosis - symptoms include fever, headache, vomiting, jaundice, and rash.
Rabies - though rare, sometimes squirrels pass this virus onto humans via biting or scratching.

Additionally, squirrels may act as hosts for ticks and other pests, which contributes to the spread of Lyme disease. Since many of these diseases are fatal when left untreated, individuals should monitor for symptoms and seek medical attention after coming in contact with squirrel urine and feces as breathing in particles of the animal&'s excrement is the most common method of disease transmission.

I had a pet turkey for 2 months. They are pretty cool and very sociable birds. Poor guy got spooked during a storm, haven't seen him since
