The emotional support dog situation is getting way out of control. People can fraudulently obtain a prescription from a PA or physicians’ secretary for an emotional support animal and any animal, whether trained or not, can be used. People at check in desks at airlines see this on a daily basis.

What's slowly putting a stop to this nonsense is that the physicians and/or their hired personnel who sign these "prescriptions" are now being named in these lawsuits.

And the airlines getting sued in cases like this are adding them as third-party defendants even if the injured passenger doesn't name them in the original lawsuit.
