A recent article in The New Yorker about Emotional Support Animals.  Hilarious and illustrates the need for more regulation:

That's great. Thanks for sharing.

I sat next to a woman at an airport bar, and her little dog, who had it's own bar stool. I questioned her about it good-naturedly and she replied that he was an ESA dog. I'm not so sure that entitled him to a seat at the bar or to be sharing her french fries.

When you think about it, couldn't all pets be classified as ESA since that is the reason people have pets, for support and companionship?

I am not dissing those who really and truly need them, just the posers.

Just curious -- did you intend this to be a comment on the previous post, instead of a new post?
