Of course some animals do, however some pets are considered emotional support animals. I know there's a lot of arguments either way on that and I know some people who have registered their pets as emotional support animals so they can fly with them, even though they are not, but also I am fully aware that for many people it is a genuine need and on this occasion I was happy to assume that there was a genuine need to fly with the animal.

Also good point and analogy with the peanuts. Although Peanuts aren't living creatures (apart from maybe that fancy Mr Peanut fella)
