The pets thing is getting out of control.

Most posts on one article on the USA had people screaming that people should be removed if pets are inconvenienced.

The real story, is that there is no regulations on what constitutes a 'service animal", and until that gets settled, people should come first.

I was on a flight a while back in the USA, when some guy with a very frisky little dog sat next to me. I could tell that the dog was going to be all over me the entire journey. I called over the attendant, calmly explained the situation, and they moved the guy and his dog. He was OK with it, and understood.
