We’ve seen flights diverted because of suspected terrorists on board. Then it was the fear of passengers carrying the Ebola virus. ABC News, though, has the story of a woman who was removed from a flight after it was discovered her duffel bag was actually an “emotional support pig” on a leash.
The US Airways flight from Connecticut kicked the woman and her pig off the plane before taking off Wednesday.
Let the “emotional support pig” puns commence.
Most pigs fly Ameriham Airlines.
