There was an issue in December with a service animal a pig.

Pigs are not considered service animals after the ADA and the Department of
Justice changed this a few years ago.

Only animals considered service animals are dogs and horses.

Here is the story.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.

Hi all-

It was in the news recently that US Air kicked a blind guy off one of their
flights.  Have they addressed this?  That could have been one situation, one
flight staff member, or one isolated something else circumstance.  But as a
company what have they done about this - has anyone heard anything? 

Thanks,
Peter
