Sigh. Another news story about emotional support animals that completely fails to point out that emotional support animals ARE NOT SERVICE ANIMALS and the law doesn’t require them to be accommodated anywhere except housing.

The article makes it sound like the issue was the species:

But even if the guy had an emotional support dog instead of an emotional support alligator, the stadium still shouldn’t have allowed it in, because emotional support animals are not service animals!

I kinda hope the species was at least an issue.

I understand this is simply not the done thing. The height of bad form, actually.

Actually, it’s cheating. They maintain a running score of ‘inadvertent’ duplicates and the winner gets … something?

(Didn’t Rob have a thread a long time ago where these duplicates were logged, or did I imagine that?)

One person’s emotional support animal is everyone else’s emotional distress animal.
