Unfortunately, I don't really see much of a difference here from previous requirements.

Wasn't a mental health form required already? The other forms look to require approximately 5 minutes of incremental effort.

The forms say the animal will be denied travel if it "exhibits severely aggressive behavior." Otherwise it's fine and dandy, you just have to pay the pet fee? So a dog that takes a dump in the galley during the boarding process, or a dog that barks constantly for 5 hours are permitted as long as the owner coughs up $150 or whatever it is.


I'm also skeptical about how well this will be enforced. I hope to be pleasantly surprised.
