Turn and Cough All-American

Too many pet owners are so enamored with their emotional support fur baby that they fail to read the room in consideration of others. Instead, they wrongfully project their pet worship onto other people.

Dogs do not belong on planes. Unless you’re blind.

Dogs are fine if docile and well-behaved.

Archaea

Dec 27, 12:00pm

And who judges this? The stupid owners?

Socrates Johnson

Dec 27, 12:04pm

Society. If it is allowed, society must disagree with the snooty ones

Archaea

Dec 27, 12:05pm

Tyranny of the minority/silent majority problem.

Socrates Johnson

Dec 27, 12:14pm

So your opinion must be correct and the majority opinion is always wrong?

Archaea

Dec 27, 12:15pm

Not inevitably or always. This just happens to be one of the occasions.

Socrates Johnson

Dec 27, 12:17pm

You have it backwards. The majority dont want dogs on the plane.

Based on which select polling? Society allows it and hasn't excluded it.

Archaea

Dec 27, 12:20pm

Ok show me the polling. Society hasnt excluded people with horrible B.O. from

yahtzee

Dec 27, 12:20pm

You made the comment that society agrees with you. I'm stating that

Archaea

Dec 27, 12:22pm

Yeah, and I'm pointing out that your argument doesn't work.

RE: Ok show me the polling. Society hasnt excluded people with horrible B.O.

Socrates Johnson

And society must approve of it then.

Archaea

Dec 27, 12:39pm

Toleration ≠ approval.

Socrates Johnson

Especially when it is driven, at least in part, by fear of litigation or other

IF society doesn't prohibit something, then it's not enough of a nuisance to

That doesn't make it an ok or good thing.

Society allows tuna onion sandwiches on airplanes. Society has spoken!

Looks like society has judged your opinion as wrong.

Every dog owner thinks their pet is docile and well behaved

That's not true at all.

What about allergies? Plenty of people, including myself, are allergic and it is

Maybe we can have flights that allow dogs and more expensive flights where they

Archaea

Maybe we can tell people to grow up and quit bringing their dumb dogs everywhere

Sid Vicious

People enjoy their pets. It's not a question of emotional maturity.

Archaea

Dec 27, 12:14pm

People enjoy not sneezing during a flight.

IceCreamButt

Dec 27, 1:09pm

How about people leave their pet idols at home.

Turn and Cough

Dec 27, 12:24pm

Or maybe more expensive for people bringing extra stuff , their dogs, onto the

IceCreamButt

Dec 27, 1:08pm

This is the right answer. Suggesting that allergic people need their own flight shows Archaea is trolling

Turn and Cough

I have not witnessed what you complain about.

Archaea

Dec 27, 12:14pm

It's not a complaint as much as it is an observation on human behavior.

Turn and Cough

Dec 27, 12:21pm

My allergies can't discern between docile and non-docile and well behaved and not well behaved.

Real G Man

Dec 27, 12:24pm

So we are supposed to accommodate people with allergies but

Archaea

Yes. Because kids are humans. Dogs are not. So humans get more rights, even if

A little annoying. Some can be a lot of annoying.

Archaea

Dec 27, 2:24pm

To me the answer is simple… only service dogs. Service dogs. & owners are well versed in not being annoying.

Same for restaurants and grocery stores.

They belong in the wild, as service animals or to work on a farm. Nowhere else.

Can we please get a dog category or be able to mitigate senseless potd's?

VenomFarmer

Why wouldn't you just shut the door on your 1st class suite? You'd never notice any dogs.

Ragnar Danneskjold

Agreed. Shut the door and you're good.

I had four of them on my Southwest flight last week. Made sure to get as far away from them as I could

Dogs do not belong in restaurants unless they’re on the menu in some Third World country

As a dog owner myself, I say this: you are absolutely correct.
