Bad news for some peacocks, pigs, hamsters - and cats😡😣
The trial has paused for a 30-minute dinner break.

This other news: the Department of Transportation is proposing a ban on emotional support animals on planes, except for dogs.
In the pecking order of feathered and furry friends, it seems canines win out for a space in the cabin, rather than being in the hold or left at the gate.

Airlines would no longer be required to accommodate travelers who want to fly with emotional support animals
such as pigs, cats and rabbits, under new rules proposed by the US DoT today, the Washington Post has just reported.

The proposed rules, years in the making, narrow the definition of service animal to dogs that have received
individualized training to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability, the Post continues.

There is time allocated now for public comments to the government - I’m sure they can expect a cacophony of barking, yowling, howling, squeaking and shrieking, as
well as purring from passengers who don’t want a kitty under the seat next to them.

This could lead to fewer accounts of unfortunate experiences for individuals such as Pebbles the hamster, Dexter the peacock or Flirty the mini horse, and others.
