Good for Delta Airlines!

I think that rule will run into problems. A muzzle on all breeds would be fair as flying can be stressful for any animal.

I agree completely. I do not want a dog anywhere near me.

Dogs on a flight (if they must be in the cabin) should have something over their mouths.

I haven't heard of emotional support animals but I wouldn't have thought pit bulls would have been a good choice.

i like dogs but i don't want them to be sitting beside me especially on a flight...

I would hate flying with a pet. Were the dogs provoked or what?

I feel sorry for those who have perfectly trained, kind service animals who happen to be pitbull or part pitbull. I have doubt that dog in the story was really a trained service animal. I have heard first hand two times from people who got their pets certified therapy animals because it was easier on them. They went into detail how easy it is to get them certified with no training. They claimed them as emotional support dogs. Others can even download forms online that look like paperwork required for certified animals. All they needed was a printer. I would like it to be harder for people to fake their pets as therapy dogs. Because it's not right for someone to suffer for dishonest people. Obviously, we can't have innocent people being bit though. I would be okay with a muzzle being used in flights.

I fully agree with Delta, I would have also asked to move to another sit, my husband is even allergic to dogs furs.

You just never know what animal you are going to "rub" the wrong way. It is good policy.

Yes, I do agree. It's terrible the man needed stitches, even worse that he was bitten. I was under the assumption dogs/animals needed to be in cages.

I don't mind the rule because I would feel uncomfortable next to a dog but I think its wrong that they single out the pit bull. Any animal will bite if startled or something. Maybe what they should do is place that passenger in a row by himself with the animal and not put anyone near him.

I think that's a great idea. I have a fear of dogs so I would have change seats too.

I agree with member Eva James@wolfgirl569 who suggested a muzzle be on flying dogs!

Hi Anne. If it is for the protection of the crew and the passengers, it is fine with me.

I think that is good. No matter how good or train the animal is when you put them in another situation you will never know what will happen next. So I think it is for the best
