Rather than "support animal friendly" rows, how about entire sealed off sections and charge for the required seat space required to accommodate the animal (extra passenger). Or perhaps even offer separate flights that are listed as animal free "health" flights. Since this would be difficult to do, don't expect it to happen anytime soon.
No kidding! I'm sure the idea of sealed off sections and "health" flights would go over great with the airline industry that already can't make a profit.
