Cats Causing ‘Conflicting Disabilities’
Air Canada is complaining to the country’s officials about a problem caused by “conflicting ‘disabilities’“ when it comes to cats on flights. The airline was ordered by the Canadian Transportation Agency to either ban cats in the cabins of planes or outfit the vehicles with a cat-free zone with upgraded air circulation for passengers allergic to felines. Air Canada told the agency it was prepared to implement the buffer zones on most of its planes, but its fleet of planes do not have the capability for the upgraded circulation required. The airline said the situation presents a problem when passengers who need an “emotional support animal” wind up on the same flights as those with allergies. The airline said the problem is comprised of “conflicting ‘disabilities’ between a person with a disability by reason of their allergy to cats and a person with a disability having a cat as an emotional support animal.”
