Might seemingly cut down the number of ES goldfish and peacocks, but in reality it will up the number of "not faaaaair" claims.

We know there are already people figuring out ways around these rules, and how to profit from them.
I suspect that one is an attempt at shifting liability from airline to ESA owner following the well-publicized pit bull mauling on a Delta flight that is probably going to cost that airline a whole bunch to settle.
