ESA and SERVICE DOGS

Alright I’m pissed.

THIS. THIS IS WHY ITS NOT OK TO PRETEND YOUR PET IS AN ESA OR SERVICE DOG AND TAKE IT IN PUBLIC!!!

Because now, flying just got even harder than it already is for people with actual disabilities who need their ESAs and SDs.

This is unacceptable and such an asshole thing to do I just cannot even believe that people are this selfish and stupid.

And to make it controversial so I don’t get told to go to the rant room:

With this incident and the rise in fake ESAs, should emotional support animals not be allowed or included in the ADA for public transportation rights anymore? Should they be limited to just home? Should we create a legitimate national registry for ESAs and SDs so it’s harder for fakes to get away with it? What can we do to make it easier on the disabled community while making it harder for fakes to take advantage of the system?
