Delta passenger uses turkey as 'emotional support animal'

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 (UPI) -- A turkey drew the attention of the Internet after photos showed the bird being used as an emotional support animal for an airline passenger.

A Delta spokesman clarified the circumstances surrounding these photos in a statement to USA Today, explaining that the airline allowed the turkey on the flight in compliance with the Air Carrier Access Act.

According to a Delta spokesman

 "We review each case and make every effort to accommodate our customers' travel needs while also taking into consideration the health and safety of other passengers."

According to the National Service Animal Registry's website, all domesticated animals, regardless of species, may qualify as an Emotional Support Animal.

"The only requirement is that the animal is manageable in public and does not create a nuisance in or around the home setting."
