If you think you are seeing more four-legged flyers, that's because it's easier than ever for them to ride in the cabin. CBS News travel editor Peter Greenberg reports on how some passengers are taking advantage of a law meant to protect the disabled. He put the law to the test by seeing if a pig could fly as emotional support pets.

First of all we need a pet airline. Its time. We need an airline that specializes in pet travel.

I can see why people do this because airlines don't take good care of animals in cargo.

Dogs should ba BANNED on all flights! They get into fights, get wasted, smoke, bring bombs, swear and assault the cabin crew....Oh wait that`s humans! My bad!

Let's be honest. The problem is the number of people LYING about having a service animal.

If airlines didn't kill or beat up animals during flights in the cargo holds, people wouldn't try to sneak them in the cabin.

How about just making flights where animals can and can't be on? isn't it easier?

What about passengers with allergies to animals? Was this taken into consideration?

I have an emotional support dog who is stressed about flying so I got him an emotional support parrot that rides on his back. The parrot however gets real twitchy during rough flights so I was forced to get her an emotional support hamster. I just love flying!

How about have airlines especially for dogs and their pet humans?

I have more of a problem with people on the plane more than animals

Dogs yelp, kick the back of your seat, howl, run up and down the aisles, crap everywhere, and their parents defend them. Wait, NO, that is children I'm thinking about.

If airlines would have special flights where people can bring their pets those flights would be booked.

They aren't being abused, they're being utilized as an essential tool.

They should label flights as animal friendly and not. I would never trust the airlines to keep my dogs safe in the cargo hold. 300 pets a year die in the care of the airline staff, and even more go missing or get injured. They should start letting people bring their pets on flights and segregate the pet friendly from not. At least then we'll know our animals are safe with us, and no one has to be with them if they don't want to.

I kind of wish this piece focused more on deterring people from doing this instead of giving them a roadmap and telling them how easy it is, but that's just me.
