"Emotional support" animals are out of control

Post by BigDave »

They aren't service animals. Feeling lonely or snowflakey doesn't give you the right to bring your animal anywhere you please.

Really, I think service animals need to be reigned in. Nobody has a problem with seeing eye dogs, but we are excessively permissive with letting anyone claim their animal is a service animal and you can't question it - they can bring it anywhere.

Give her credit - flushing her pet rat down the toilet wasn’t very snowflakey.

I told her it was BS and she finally caved that they just use that label to take it where they want.
