Hello PimTac,
In this case, not really:
The ADA laws have 2 recognized trained service animals:
-the all known service dogs
-the less known miniature horses
They are to be considered tools of the owners, but, I think the same ADA laws stat that owners have the responsibility for any damages produced by the animals.
The problem are the comfort animals that could be anything and usually are not trained to do anything, also being scared and tired on crowds and strange noises.
So there go cases related by one of our resident pilots, Astro, like dogs biting or peeing/defecating in the plane.
In the housing market this is a mess because HUD give some really foggy guidelines, but will go full force after landlords with not pets policies.
My opinion, is the Delta ban was insurance produced, but DOT basically just said which law has precedence.(ADA in this case)
