Miniature horses are welcome as service animals, but monkeys are a maybe, according to U.S. airline regulators
Miniature horses are in, for now. But capuchin monkeys are on shakier ground.
The U.S. Department of Transportation said Wednesday that it will work to make sure “the most commonly used service animals (i.e., dogs, cats, and miniature horses)” are still allowed on flights, despite increased efforts by airlines to crack down on fraudulent assistance critters of all kinds.
If this is not discrimination against ..... (one of our favorite colleagues) and his pet capuchin monkey, then nothing is.

Monkeys are unpredictable and dangerous.

Seriously, this 'service animal' thing is most ridiculous.
I wonder where this miniature horse is going to 'sit', and at whose expense.
Will this service animal accompany the 'client' to the bathroom, or will the flight attendant be forced to animal sit?
So many questions.

So, you're part of the problem.
What's so special about dogs that they should be allowed and my therapy turkey should not?

Because people are not used to therapy turkeys.
