I worked around the Pentagon in the 2010-2013 era. There was starting to become this trend of emotional support animals to appear within the building. Civilians mostly. One day, the question came up....was there a regulation over this? Well...not exactly. So they decided to write a reg on this. But this started a whole big discussion....what animals were to be allowed? Dogs only? Would we force a paperwork trail to exist? Where would the dogs relieve themselves? What if dogs got into a fight? What if fleas started to occur in office areas?
At some point in a building meeting....the guy leading the meeting admitted that this was getting awful deep now into discussion and way past the point of some half-page regulation. I left before they finalized anything.
“What if fleas started to occur in office areas?”
People keep fleas as support animals?
