ABC News - A pig landed on a US Airways flight out of Connecticut on Wednesday, but was taken off the plane after it became disruptive, a spokesperson told ABC News.
Jonathan Skolnik, a professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst
and a passenger on the flight, told ABC News today he thought the woman
with the pig was carrying a duffel bag when she got on the plane and
headed straight for the empty seat next to him.
"But it turns out it wasn't a duffel bag. We could smell it and it was a
pig on a leash," he said. "She tethered it to the arm rest next to me
and started to deal with her stuff, but the pig was walking back and
forth."
"I was terrified, because I was thinking I'm gonna be on the plane with
the pig," Snolnik added, saying he guesses the pig weighed between 50
and 70 pounds.
But the flight didn't take off with the pig. The woman and the animal eventually deplaned.
American Airlines, the parent company of US Airways, confirmed to ABC News that a passenger brought the pig aboard as an emotional support animal. After the pig became disruptive, she was asked to leave, a spokesperson said.
Fox News-A Florida man has been served with an eviction notice over his emotional support squirrel.
Ryan Boylan, 40, of Clearwater, says he needs Brutis to deal with anxiety from a long ago car accident but Island Walk Condominiums says the squirrel needs to vacate the premises because she is putting other residents at risk.
"There's absolutely no way I would give her up. I'm not sure how an animal that weighs less than two pounds can harm anybody,” he told WFTS-TV.

My emotional support rattle snake only weighs 5 pounds and has only bitten 4 people and they put us off a municipal bus.
Unfair.
