YVR to be First Airport in Canada to Offer Therapy Ponies

All mentally ill people – ex. Woke Leftists – who are flying should definitely prioritize going through Vancouver’s airport:

If you’re one of the millions of Canadians who find flying to be stressful, would a little neigh help you get on your way?

It’s a bet Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is making as it introduces a pair of new therapy ponies it hopes to have on site two to three days a week to help soothe travellers’ nerves.

The airport has long featured therapy dogs, but YVR chief experience officer Eric Pateman said it recently connected with Green Acres Therapy Horses in Delta and decided it could do more for the 80 per cent of passengers who find airports stressful.

“We wanted to up our game,” he said.

“And thought what a cool opportunity to bring something that is a little bit different into the airport. They bring a whole new energy and as you can probably see behind me, a whole new level of engagement.”

Here’s an alternate take: If you feel you need a “therapy pony” to get through your flight experience, you should not be flying!

  1. Lord have pity on “therapy” animals.
    They are dogs and cats and other innocents who are enslaved to bent, weak, foolish humans.
    And now Ponies?
    I suggest swimming with therapy white sharks for those who perpetrate this shite.

  2. There’s a place near where I live that makes great cheesesteaks. A couple years back, they got caught using horse meat in their sandwiches.

    I still go there.

    1. “I still go there.”

      Apparently horse is a pretty healthy meat. Europeans like it…Americans are too sensitive about it.

  3. Alternate alternate take
    If you think passengers coming through your airport need comfort ponies you shouldn’t be running an airport.

    1. What they really need are comfort unicorns, but for some reason those weren’t available.

  4. I had expected that the introduction of flying ponies would be more dramatic than this.

  5. But don’t be wearing that Trudork Blackface shirt! That’ll get you booted off your paid-for flight immediately!
    A little horse shit? Heyyyyy, nothing matters there

  6. I love the smell of horseshzt in the morning.

    Hey, how about a therapy 20-something. I could get into that!

  7. So who shovels up the mess that nervous horses always make? Or, did they not think horses do that? No untouchables available either.

      1. Any recipes for peacock available?
        Maybe brine ’em like a turkey and then into the oven preferably in the plastic turkey bags that used to be available.
        Sell the feathers to the Indigents.
        Ought to flash up their Chicken Hats nicely!

  8. A woman who gained national attention for bringing her miniature horse as a service animal on an airplane is now hoping the attention does not affect the Department of Transportation’s decision to let miniature horses fly.

    Ronica Froese flew from her home in Michigan to Ontario International Airport in California, with a stop in Dallas.

    This is one of those times where one human does something that embarrasses all other humans.

  9. Thank goodness for ongoing Airport Improvement Fee, which is now buried in the ticket prices and funds all kinds of other dopey nonsense like fish tanks and forests. Not to mention a huge staff of “experience” bureaucrats.

  10. I hear the union representing goat yoga goats is going to grieve this development.

  11. ShitAir.
    “…what a cool opportunity to bring something that is a little bit different into the airport.”

    How does this person even have a job?

  12. I hope I’m not paying for this. I mean, I probably am, somehow, but I really don’t want to.

    Also, if I want to bring my own “therapy” poodle there’s going to be a -million- reasons why I can’t do that.
