A filthy pig was kicked off of a U.S. Airways flight in Connecticut on Wednesday after becoming too disruptive. Oh no. How is your boyfriend going to get home?
The 70-pound pot-bellied pig was brought onto the flight for emotional support, reports the Telegraph. According to Laura Masvidal, a spokeswoman for American Airlines—U.S. Airways' parent company—the pig and its owner were removed from the flight before it took off.
Jonathan Skolnik, the pair's seatmate and a University of Massachusetts professor, told the AP that at first he thought the woman was simply carrying a duffel bag. He realized it was more than a duffel bag, he explained in an email to the AP, when he noticed that it smelled like a pig and was a pig:
"It's no duffel bag but a rather stout PIG ... on a leash. Am I dreaming?"
You are not, sir! He continued:
"Oh no, it gets worse: the pig is incontinent."
Skolnik explained that, while the pig ran back and forth, its owner was left struggling to clean up its mess before finally being asked to deplane.
I guess it's true what they say: Pigs can't fly, but they certainly can poop.
