K-9s, felines . . . and peacocks.
Airlines that have begun
talking about tightening restrictions on a proliferating array of “emotional
support” animals on commercial flights may have found their case bolstered
this week after a picture of a peacock that was reportedly denied a seat aboard
a United Airlines flight traveled far and wide.
The Jet Set, a
travel-focused television show based in Washington, posted the
photo on Facebook of the resplendent blue-and-green bird,
saying that the “emotional support peacock” had been denied boarding on a
flight at Newark International Airport.
United Airlines confirmed that
the exotic animal was barred from the plane Saturday because it “did not meet
guidelines for a number of reasons, including its weight and size.”
