ATLANTA, GEORGIA — Delta is tightening its regulations for passengers who travel with emotional-service pets. If an airline as crappy as Delta is doing something, it must be a problem. <br /><br />Delta says it's seen a big uptick in incidents involving poorly trained animals since 2016. More and more the airline is getting complaints of animals taking a leak, dropping deuces and even biting other passengers. <br /><br />Starting on March 1, passengers traveling with service pets need to show Delta proof of health or vaccinations for the animal 48 hours before flying.<br /><br />People traveling with emotional- or psychological-support animals will need a signed note from a doctor confirming the animal won't go berserk. <br /><br />In the past, Delta said passengers who have tried to use turkeys, possums, snakes and even spiders as support pets. <br /><br />From now on, if you're looking to bring hedgehogs, ferrets, insects, rodents, snakes spiders, possums, amphibians, non-household fowl or animals with horns, tusks or hooves on a flight, you're going to have to find someone other than Delta.
