First of all: ESA's are getting way out of hand (what this thread should be about). The only animal that should be on a plane is a true, professionally trained, service animal.
Second: Animal owners (regardless of breed) know if their pet is aggressive or not. Aggressive animals should not be in public spaces, again, regardless of breed.
Third: Ignorance is high in this thread. I don't lump animals by breed (or people for color of their skin) into one category. I hate to see how most of you react when strangers walk past you.
