I’m too lazy to open the article and though I’m afraid to ask, I gots to know!
WTH is an emotional support animal?
It’s anything.
It is an animal that makes people feel better.
Amish Dachshund the dog of peace
WTH is an emotional support animal?
...
It’s a scam that allows people to have heathen animals in places they shouldn’t be.
A woman tries to board with an emotional support peacock.
A passenger’s support dog allegedly bites a 6-year-old girl.
An airline says passengers have tried to board with “comfort turkeys, gliding possums known as sugar gliders, snakes, spiders and more.”
WTH is an emotional support animal?
*************
It’s a scam where douchebags impose their crap on everyone around them because they have to feel special.
It is an abuse of the mental health accommodation laws.
They found that autistic kids often did better with service dogs akin to a seeing eye dog. Let the kid have a trained service animal so they can stay within behavioral norms ... if nervous, pet the dog.
It was quickly adopted for those with PTSD and high anxiety. Take the pet and use it as a distraction and source of emotional support on an airplane.
Now it is readily abused. Buy vests for “service animals” online with a doctor’s note bought for $30 from a doc in another state who signs off on all requests.
You can now take Fifi the Poodle and Fido the 50 pound mastiff into the store and claim you must have it as a disability accommodation. The actual law says “must be allowed to have it live with you in a dorm, public housing or a federal housing program paid unit” ... but the fake mentally ill will threaten the ADA lawsuits if you don’t let them take 3 poodles into the store in the shopping cart because she - needs - it.
Then you get the more egregious abuses. Big aggressive dogs, untrained pets that nip at trained service animals for the actual disabled.

It’s BS, that’s what.
Some may help, but it’s rife for fraud and fakery.
I’m sick of this emo dog stuff. A dog must perform a physical task, if you ask me. And thus also be certified to have done so.
It’s a fraudulent way to avoid checking your dog into the cargo hold.
It’s actually one of the few news sites that will let me enter. The MSM doesn’t like my ad-blocker. Maybe the MSM should knock off their annoying ads. The MSM can go suck an egg, but I digress.....
