Now that’s just nasty.

Delta Air Lines has issued an apology after a male customer was left
“covered” in dog feces “everywhere,” after he sat in feces left behind by
a service animal on a flight last week.

On Nov. 1, Matthew Meehan had already taken his seat for his Delta flight
from Atlanta to Miami when he made the nauseating discovery.

“Actual feces and it was all over me. I sat in it and it was on the seat,
on the floor, the seat in front. And I was literally in it,” he told WXYZ.

Reps for Delta later confirmed to Fox News that the accident happened
during a “previous flight with an ill service animal.”

According to the Detroit Free Press, Meehan claims that when he requested
assistance from the cabin crew to clean up, they gave him two paper towels
and a small bottle of Bombay Sapphire gin — which didn’t prove to be much
of a help.

"I was in the bathroom cleaning feces off the back of my legs, my shoes. I
was wearing loafers unfortunately, so the feces was all over my bare
ankles,” Meehan told WSB-TV.

Proceeding to speak with a manager, Meehan recalled that the unnamed Delta
staffer dismissed his complaint.

"She said to me, 'Well, that’s not my problem… If the cleaning crew didn’t
clean your seat, I don’t have any control over that,” he told the outlet.

Meehan, who told Fox News on Nov. 6 that he resides in both Miami and
Michigan, further divulged that some of his fellow passengers refused to
take their seats until the foul mess was cleaned up. He also took to
Facebook to share images of the incident.

“It filled the entire plastic bag. Paper towels full of feces, and they
wanted me to sit in that,” Meehan said of the cleaning crew’s actions,
adding that passengers laid down blankets to further protect themselves.

"I have never in my entire life felt more dehumanized. I felt like an
animal," Meehan told WSB-TV of the overall experience. “Words can’t even
describe how awful it was, and they had so many opportunities to make it
right."

Reps for Delta returned Fox News’ request for comment with a statement,
saying that the airline has offered to refund his flight as well as
compensate him for his soiled apparel.

"On Nov. 1, an aircraft operating flight 1949 from Atlanta to Miami was
boarded before cleaning was completed following an incident from a
previous flight with an ill service animal. Delta apologizes to customers
impacted by the incident and has reached out to make it right, offering a
refund and additional compensation,” a spokesperson said. “The safety and
health of our customers and employees is our top priority, and we are
conducting a full investigation while following up with the right teams to
prevent this from happening again. Upon landing in Miami, the aircraft was
taken out of service to be deep cleaned and disinfected."

“We are in direct contact with the customer, offering to reimburse his
shoes and suit, refund his flight and provide additional compensation for
the inconvenience,” they added.

In the days since the story made headlines, Meehan says he has been
contacted by "dozens of lawyers" interested in taking on the case, WXYZ
reports.

Meanwhile, he told Fox News that what he really wants from the carrier is
the truth.

“I really just needed answers from Delta, and I’ve been told three
different stories as to where [exactly] the feces came from,” Meehan said,

“Feces is feces. It’s full of diseases. Even after I cleaned and sanitized
myself, I was still forced to sit in the seat. The feces made contact with
my body, shoes, it transferred to my hands … I just need answers,” he
added.

“I really hope Delta takes a good, hard look at this incident… there were
so many opportunities to correct this situation,” he concluded. “I can’t
believe I had been the one to ask for cleaning supplies.”

The subject of emotional support and service animals on airplanes has
proven to be one of the most controversial travel topics of the year, ever
since an emotional support peacock named Dexter and his owner were
rejected from boarding a United Airlines flight in January. A few months
later, a French bulldog died midflight after being accidentally placed
into an overhead bin by a United Airlines flight attendant for the
duration of the trip.

Various carriers have been tightening the leash on their respective rules
regarding the transportation of both companion and service animals in the
high skies.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.

Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
