i don't see how its any different than an emotional support dog. those exist and no one makes fun of them. why make fun of this?

that said, that thing is huge and wouldn't fit on the plane.


See this. This comment. This is the mind of someone who just wants everyone to be able to do whatever the fuck they want without a bat of an eye.

There is a big difference between a fucking service dog and a full grown peacock.

yea i covered that with the 2nd sentence there. I side with the airline. I just don't think the person should instantly be made fun of and "emotional support" whatever shouldn't develop a negative reaction instantly. *shrug*...do you, though.

Didn't read the topic but I remember hearing an article on a podcast about Delta(maybe?) requiring people to have proper forms filled out to show that their animal is an actual support animal. Not that it was much more than like, printing off a form and filling it out, but they had to do so due to people doing ridiculous shit like this just to be obnoxious at best or potentially trafficking animals at worst. So this is clearly fair, next. No issue with support animals and I do believe they are a thing, but come on.

The emotional support animal idea is bullshit to begin with. Or at least it shouldn't have official status.

Every pet is an emotional support animal.

Well theres some merit as a means of making it easier to fly but then the argument ends up being if youre so uneasy about flying that you HAVE to bring an animal with you then its probably a poor mode of transport for you.

Why do blind people tolerate fuckwits piggybacking off their disability with these stupid emotional support animals?
Also, fuck the entire mental health industry for not nipping this shit in the bud decades ago.

They never saw it coming.

We explained this to the customers on three separate occasions before they arrived at the airport," said United in a statement.

United is generally a shitty airline, but if they did explain it to her before she was even there, it's her own damn fault for thinking they'd just bend over backwards for her.

Aren't those things aggressive? They look pretty, but I'd be a bit intimidated having one for emotional support.


Im not sure but at the San Francisco zoo they roam free not caged up and none ever attacked me even when I got close.

When I was in elementary, there were a ton of peacocks that would roam the streets around the school. I don't know how they got there, but they were pretty chill and never showed aggression in spite of being surrounded by kids.

If you're going to use an excuse like that to get an animal on I'd rather it be something unusual like a peacock. At least that's interesting

Wrong.

you make fun of them? why? people who deal with stress and anxiety sometimes use pets like that as a way to cope with it. Especially in public. Autistic people also sometimes have them and they're trained to help them through potential fits that might occur...what's the issue with emotional support animals? Or do you just think its "soft sjw hogwash"? I admit, a peacock is a bit extreme and this could be a case of this woman trying to avoid a storage and transportation fee...or maybe it really is her pet and she deals with something that the animal helps her through. if its the latter i don't see any reason to mock it. its not hurting me or you.


Peacocks are wild fucking animals FFS. It's ridiculous.

Yeah, I reckon she was taking advantage of the whole emotional support idea. A cat, or a dog, hell, maybe even a lizard I could understand. But a peacock? Nope.

You all laugh now but peacocks are pretty chill. I used to feed them back when I lived in Arizona. They really like grapes.
