Delta Airlines reportedly refused to allow a trained service dog onboard a flight because it looked like a pit bull. According to the pet rescue agency, the dog is a boxer/bulldog.
Delta Airlines has sparked outrage from one family and a pet rescue agency after it refused to allow a service dog onto a plane. The service dog was to be flown to a two-year-old suffering from seizures.
"[Daisy] is going to provide an extra layer of protection for my daughter," said Christin."She doesn't have seizures where she shakes and it's noticeable. Her seizures are silent. Her seizures don't break unless she's given medication. There’s no telling what can happen." "If she's a pit bull breed, we can't fly it because they had an ESA [emotional support animal] dog maul a stewardess," Biggerstaff told the station. The incident resulted in Delta updating their ESA policies in 2018."I said that's discrimination. That's illegal," Biggerstaff told the outlet."They said, ‘No, we have lawyers on standby. We wouldn't do this if there were any legal issues that could arouse.’ I said, ‘That's unfair.
