The most insane part of this is Southwest (and other airlines) say that, if you have an allergy (that's life threatening), even if you have medication and documentation, you'll be removed and offered a later flight (assuming there's no pets on it) but the pets will always be allowed to travel. That's unticketed pets, not just service animals, get preference.
Long and short...if you have pet allergies, don't try to fly...or if you fly, don't let them know.

Here is a raw video which shows much more. It's phones not guns they say to put away. https://youtu.be/H1YGg8nYkv0

You're right. I was going by what a news report had claimed, but I hear it now. Fixed the description. Thanks

If you read the article i linked it seems pretty clear this is all on her. Also i didn't hear the attendants asking the officers to stop (as stated in description) and from the article one of the dogs was a service dog.

I don't know if I would go that far, but she sure made it far worse.

I fixed the description....again....that was from another report (the same one that claimed they used guns)...I should have fixed it with the gun comment though. My bad.

I've read a few reports that the "service dog" was an emotional support dog. Without certification, training, and a vest it's just a pet in my eyes, but I'm not sure if it had those. They implied it didn't, but implications are meaningless, I admit. Even with them, it's still a pet though, isn't it?

Edit: I note in the article, they said they offered to have her deplane and get the allergy shot (epi pen?), but they slyly don't mention that they would not have allowed her back on under any circumstances. Shot or no, it's the policy to not let her fly with animals on board if she's said she's allergic. They tried to trick her, then tried to pretend they offered a solution.

I thought the same thing. No way they would let her back on board once she was off. If you know you will have to have her forcibly removed by the police, i think tricking her to leave on her own seems worth a shot. Everyone involved benefits from her leaving on her own.

This is a flat out weird situation. The service animal cannot leave and there is always a good chance you would encounter one out in public.

The allergy shot probably wouldn't be an epi pen. That is for dire emergencies and if she had that she would be carrying it. It is most likely some other kind of injectable antihistamine. My wife and I have mild allergies and carry pills for when we travel.

On the other hand, I understand her panic as she is being separated from her father who is having surgery. That would sure a hell make me not think clearly.

I was also thinking, they don't disinfect the plane between flights, so there's always going to be dander on planes, trains, and busses, and anywhere else open to the public. Her original demand that they remove the dogs wouldn't solve the problem if she's really that sensitive, would it?
