People are going to bring animals onto the subway. Should the T fight it or accept it?

the point is moot: they can't even maintain the whole system or stop people drinking/doing drugs inside of stations, so they sure as hell aren't going to police people bringing animals on trains
Having a dog punch a grumpy on the T is just the Cherry on Top of the entire T experience.
How am I supposed to deal with the T without my emotional support rhino?
Let's compromise!
Dogs: OK.
People shooting up heroin: OK.
Dogs shooting up heroin: Not OK.
Hi automod! Our newsletter excerpts are actually in front of the paywall and are always free, as are the newsletters.
Shouldn’t they focus on the T actually working first ?

Pets are already allowed on the T, they just need to be leashed or in a carrier.
The last few times I've taken the subway, the animals are definitely better behaved and less likely to attack me.
More globe spam
I store all of my pet rats on the T. Where do you expect that I should move them if they were banned?
Exactly this. A dog on the train is better than the guy blowing his second hand smoke at me on the platform.
A team of dogs to pull the train?
cry about it
I’d actually be willing to pay more for my fare if it included the spectacle of getting to watch Mr. T fight a buffalo on the train.
It just has to fit in a bag
What about cocaine?
Well, I don't see a problem, as long as you're not driving that train.... :p
Dogs are just out here trying to live their best lives
Maybe your rhino can have a play date with my emotional support ostrich next time we take the T? 🤣
