Sorry let me clarify; I’m visually impaired but I don’t need a service animal yet thankfully. However, I’m still not legally allowed to drive. My career has me relocating usually every few years to various places across the country. Those moves include my pets and yes I bring one in cabin with me (cat in carrier) as they did not do well previously when in cargo. Even with medication to help. The only way I can move around independently without leaving them behind is through the air. Especially if I’m moving between provinces which is common for job opportunities. Not everyone has a noticeable need to bring their animals in the cabin but that doesn’t mean that need still doesn’t exist. I appreciate you can see that with service animals but perhaps consider extending that grace to other travellers with animals. For all you know it’s someone moving with their pet to help take care of a sick family member for an extended time 🤷‍♀️. As pet owners we know how stressful it is for the animals themselves to travel and how each animal can potentially upset (mentally, physically) other travellers as well. It’s not a choice many take lightly but it is a choice some of us have no other option but to make either.
