Nasty, ill tempered critters with impeccably aimed spit.
I prefer alpacas.

If it takes travelers' minds off of the delay and stops them from whining, it's a good thing.
How about if they open an indoor shooting range at the airport, with gun rentals?
Nothing at all against Llamas, but I like this idea. But no rentals should be necessary. Just bring your own gun and turn it in to the stewardess when you board the plane. That ought to be good enough.

I'm sorry, but I guess I'm just not sensitive enough to others' needs. Personally, I think this "emotional support" animal stuff has gotten w-a-a-a-y-y out of hand.
I've heard of everything from emotional support peacocks to pigs. Apparently, you can find those "Emotional Support Animal" vests on-line. For a while there, I thought I'd get one for one of my mules, then common sense took over and I figured I wouldn't "push the envelope," so to speak.
I volunteer at the American West Heritage Center, a 1917 living history farm. There's a sign at the entrance of the center that reads "No Pets Allowed except for service animals. Emotional support animals and comfort animals are NOT service animals."
Oh well...recognizing the mentality of some people, I guess emotional support animals are here to stay.

"a distressed woman throws her arms around the 15-year-old Beni..."[about the delay]
She doesn't need a llama, she needs a couple years of psychiatric therapy or a private jet.
The jet is probably cheaper.

Well, this is Portland Oregon we're talking about here.

That wasn't my experience with my neighbour's llamas, aside from the "impeccably aimed spit", which fortunately was never aimed at me. Her current alpacas are offish and freak out if you try and touch them, unlike a few of her llamas, which were quite friendly.
This Guardian article is (alas) predictably saccharine, but clearly shows another side of alpacas, although,as the aurhor says:
Alpacas don't enjoy a lot of human interaction; they are very timid. Raymond is shier than the other two. I think people can get confused, because you just want to hug them – they are so fluffy. But you really have to build up a relationship with an alpaca. They are gentle, curious personalities, but you have to spend a lot of time with them to build up enough trust even to be able to touch them.
FWIW, I prefer pygmy goats
