Too bad the airlines are too cowardly to try to stop the practice. If I was allergic to dogs and saw one sitting in my seat, I'd demand that the dog and its owner be offloaded. Then again, people with "comfort" animals seem to have more passenger rights than the rest of us, so I'd probably be the one left at the gate.
I think the only way this will change is if someone gets attacked by a passengers "comfort" animal. I would sure like to have a fluffy cat sit on my lap on the plane (like he is now), but the carrier is the better place.
We better get this back on topic before this thread gets locked, LOL.
