How about my Support Badger.

She is usually very well behaved.

Chang also discussed with Bullard the practical side of keeping an emotional support animal on campus: What would she do with the animal after graduation? What would she do with the animal over breaks? What would she do with the animal if she wanted to go to New York City for a weekend? The Resource Office on Disabilities expects students not to leave the animal with other people over night. Despite some lingering questions, Bullard decided that it would be worth it.

Some PhD candidate ought to conduct a study to try and find the medical/scientific explanation for how debilitating disabilities can suddenly disappear during school 'breaks' and weekend visits to New York City.

Imagine the benefits to humanity if they could just bottle and sell that cure so that people's disabilities could vanish 24/7...

Bullard said that since she got Pascal her symptoms have all but disappeared.

Correlation does not imply causation.

A.k.a. the post hoc ergo propter hoc (Latin for "after this, therefore because of this.") fallacy is alive and well at Yale.

I am doing research on the early colonial colleges in America.

All I can say is "Good Lord!"

True, but even then they knew better than to claim their pets had a right to be in grocery stores, restaurants, and now college dorms.

Yale administrators: you students are playing you for fools and laughing at you.

Yes, that is something that has changed. Society now allows everyone’s personal quirk or glitch to become everyone else’s responsibility.

I prefer a stuffed animal for emotional support.

Keep your emotional support critter at home. If you feel a need to talk to fluffy, that’s what getting off work, driving home and relaxing is all about.

Emotional support animals are a scam. Apparently, folk with mental illnesses are now in charge of everything.

There’s a lot to be said for that, too.

Questions such as: “You support a support dog in restaurants. What if someone has some less ‘desirable’ animal such as a rat or rodent that is their “support animal”. Is that acceptable? Do we allow them in planes? How about sterile hospital rooms, or in offices?”

I saw an article a week or so ago about someone bitching because her "support peacock" wasn't allowed to board an airplane. This issue has already gone beyond ridiculous.

In MA emotional support animals are allowed on public transportation and in housing where pets are not allowed.

They are NOT allowed in restaurants or any other type of retail store——but a lot of the retailers seem to be unaware of this.

How about an emotional support wolverine? I give it a good thrashing once a year in late November and feel good all year.

LOL! EXACTLY what I meant!

Now, any RATIONAL person would say no, you can’t bring a “support wolverine”, “support rattlesnake”, or “support squirrel” on the plane with you, but...like teenagers who have to adhere to a dress code, people are just going to push the boundaries.

If you can even imagine someone doing it...they are going to do it! (I refused to believe the “support peacock” story until I read it at some main media outlets...and I STILL suspected it was satire!)

And it is the same thing with nearly any issue. Marriage?

“No,” they said, “If we give state recognition to homosexual marriage, that won’t lead to anything else, such as people wanting to marry little kids, immediate blood relatives, pets, or trees! Who would do such silly things?”

Yeah. Who would do such silly things indeed.

I’d like to bring my 6’ emotional support Black Mamba. If that’s too large, then there’s my black Sydney Web Spider. After all, people don’t have any problems with black Labs and they’re a lot larger.
