Should laws requiring airlines to accommodate blind people by allowing their seeing-eye dogs on a plane, be repealed and why?

Is this a joke?

SO when the blind person gets off the plane at their destination they run into walls and hurt themselves? What kind of idiotic question is this?

Sure. Planes are private property. People that own them should be allowed to deny service to anybody they choose to.

Having said that - I don't like people who don't like dogs.

We should deregulate, and then boycott companies that aren't friendly to blind people. I love to see the free market work its magic.

What would you say to liberals who would call that "inconvenient" (to say the least)?

I'll pay extra to fly on the airline that lets me bring my dogs on with me even though I'm not blind. Seems a fair trade to me.

If we have to hang out with the cigarette smokers, so be it.

(My dogs won't fit under a seat, although Sirius tries desperately when there's a thunderstorm.)

Say you are epileptic and it is your seizure dog.

Once, we passed my old dog, who was 15, deaf and about half blind, off as a hearing assist dog so we could have her in temporary corporate housing that didn't allow pets.

We didn't even plan it. My husband got caught with the dog, and he just tossed that story out there without even batting an eye.

We had to sign a paper certifying it was true. :O

Passengers can be deathly allergic to dogs and recirculated air will make the situation worse. There aren't emergency rooms at 30,000 feet. Some boarding facilities ban strong perfume too. Asthma from animal "dander" is prevailant.

I personally believe it's flea and coat ingredients that are the cause.
