In this case, we have an actual pig that was trying to fly. Here are the details from <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20141202101759\/http:\/\/www.foxnews.com:80\/us\/2014\/11\/29\/when-pigs-fly-not-on-this-us-airways-plane\/?intcmp=latestnews\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fox News<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>This was a pig that truly could not fly. The pig was ordered off a U.S. Airways plane at Bradley International Airport in Connecticut on Wednesday after crewmembers determined the animal had become disruptive, said Laura Masvidal, a spokeswoman for U.S. Airways parent American Airlines said Friday. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Flying-pig-e1398008329408.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-14727\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Flying-pig-300x225.jpg?resize=300%2C225\" alt=\"Flying pig\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ok, so someone thought it would be a great idea to bring Porky ((<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Porky_pig\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Porky Pig<\/a>)) onto a plane. So why did someone want to bring a pig on a plane? Could it be that the passenger was planning on using the pig as a form of defense against Islamic Terrorists attempting to hijack the aircraft? Not exactly.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>The pig had been brought aboard the flight by a passenger as an emotional support animal, Masvidal said. She said both the pig and its owner left the aircraft before it took off. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/double-facepalm.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8876\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/double-facepalm-300x240.jpg?resize=300%2C240\" alt=\"double-facepalm\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/double-facepalm.jpg?resize=300%2C240&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/double-facepalm.jpg?resize=150%2C120&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/double-facepalm.jpg?resize=400%2C320&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/double-facepalm.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A pig as an emotional support animal? I don\u2019t think so. A cat or a dog, yes, I can see those animals being used as some sort of service or support animal. Pigs? Those are used for things like bacon, pork chops, sausage, etc. So what did the other passengers think of all this?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>Jonathan Skolnik, a University of Massachusetts professor who was on the flight, told ABC News that he initially thought the female passenger was carrying a duffel bag. <\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>&#8220;But it turns out it wasn&#8217;t a duffel bag. We could smell it and it was a pig on a leash,&#8221; he said. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A duffel bag? Just how big was this thing?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>The woman sat in an empty seat next to him and tethered the pig &#8212; which he estimated weighed 50-70 pounds &#8212; to the arm rest, but the animal began walking back and forth, Skolnik said.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ok, so we aren\u2019t talking about a little baby pig. We\u2019re talking about a large farm animal that is domesticated, not as a pet, but as dinner. I can see why the airline kicked them off the plane. Dogs and Cats have been domesticated as pets and work animals for millennium. Pigs, if they get out, quickly revert to wild animals and become very large pests. Obviously, this woman is nuts, and probably a militant vegetarian who thinks pigs are people, not breakfast. I\u2019m glad that US Airways booted them from the plane. Perhaps she should try taking a cattle truck the next time she wants to go somewhere with walking pre-bacon.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/The-Good-Idea-Fairy-3.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-15417\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/The-Good-Idea-Fairy-3-268x300.jpg?resize=268%2C300\" alt=\"The-Good-Idea-Fairy-3\" width=\"268\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/The-Good-Idea-Fairy-3.jpg?resize=268%2C300&amp;ssl=1 268w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/The-Good-Idea-Fairy-3.jpg?w=393&amp;ssl=1 393w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 268px) 100vw, 268px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thatisall<\/p>\n<p><i><b>~The Angry Webmaster~<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p>[yasr_visitor_votes size=&#8221;medium&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good day all.
