What if I need a therapy cat, or another type of animal??

How can they discriminate in this fashion, by only providing dogs??

If we would have brought up any of this need a dog, safe space, ect. We would not have graduated. And friends? Forget about it. You’d be considered a problem and weak.

Most of these snowflakes will either stay in Academia or go to work in the government.

So they’ll bring in “therapy goats” with separate stalls and doors on them for privacy!

The Libs have utterly and truly mind-raped them in their government schools. God help us and forgive us for letting it happen.

Actually, they do - I know of two in our area that visit senior centers and nursing homes and are a huge hit with the old folks. The rescued one I have now is a real sweetie, hardly a monster like they're portrayed.
