If it seems like the emotional support animal problem is getting out of hand, a huge rise in the number of on-board attacks by dogs on flight attendants as well as health and sanitation issues have prompted many airlines to change their rules.

United is now limiting approved emotional support animals to flights under eight hours, and so has Delta.

United has gone a step further and won’t accept kittens or puppies under four months of age being called emotional support animals.

And many animals have now limited acceptance of emotional support animals to include only dogs, cats and I’m being serious, miniature horses.

Please do me a favor, and keep me off of those flights.
