Unruly pig kicked off US Airways flight
A disruptive pig and its owner were kicked off a US Airways flight at Bradley International Airport, after literally causing a stink on board.
The pair were shown to their seat but were subsequently ordered off the plane after flight attendants saw the animal was becoming too disruptive.
The pig was legally allowed on board the plane as a registered ’emotional support animal’.
Fellow passengers complained to flight crew after the pig was reportedly squealing, moving around and defecated in the aisle.
The pig’s owner struggled to control her pet which was described as ‘incontinent’ by one passenger.
Airline spokesperson Laura Masvidal confirmed the pair were ordered off the plane on the tarmac before the scheduled takeoff.
American Airlines, the parent company of US Airways, said the woman had the pig as an emotional support animal and was asked to leave the plane after it became disruptive.
