Description: I believe that airplane passengers should be able to bring any pet that provides them with emotional support with them. I understand that animals that are not trained to be service animals come with their own set of complications because they may not be as disciplined, but I do think that gatekeeping who is allowed to bring a pet and who- what qualifies as emotional support feels wrong.
