When Did People Start Getting Emotional Support Animals?

I don’t remember this crap 20 years ago. The blind were the ones with support animals.

I can remember a friend doing it like 7 years ago.

She was moving and went to some less than reputable doctor who wrote a note for her so she could transport the dog.

I had a goat

My cat is my emotional support animal. I tell him all my worries, and he looks at me with total indifference, which is at least realistic.

It saves money since you don’t have to pay extra for travel or housing for the pet.

When the Feds imposed this rule on airlines:

"You must not deny transportation to a service animal on the basis that its carriage may offend or annoy carrier personnel or persons traveling on the aircraft."

Blind people have working animals not support animals.

I brought my dog all the way from South America as an emotional support animal. I just paid a psychologist in Brazil to give me a certificate stating that I needed her as emotional support to fly. All the other passengers loved her and when she arrived she skipped right through customs and immigration without having to show any papers.

"The blind ones were the ones with support animals."

OP, please crawl up Trump's asshole and die. Blind people have guide dogs.

Also, to have a pet in an apt/condo that does not allow pets. Better to move in or sign lease first though! Then say you have something like anxiety etc and get a note from your therapist/psychiatrist on letterhead. Register animal - done. Two of my friends did it.

R11 but your friends still have to pay pet fees, the apartment figured out long time ago.

When they figured out it was a great way to tug the chains of angry jerks like you OP.

Have you been in a coma the past ten years, OP? This isn't anything new.

EVERY pet is a support animal.

Yes and they are fine with that to keep their pets. Even places that allow pets have fees.

It's just another fad for the mentally feeble. Just like 99% of all so-called transsexuals who've suddenly come out of the woodwork. It's all the rage.

Because they can abuse disability law to circumvent pet rules.

“No dogs? $500 dog fee? No one wants my nanny Pittie in their building?” No problem. Here’s a letter I got online from some LCSW in Alaska for $75, and per federal law I can’t be charged any fees or denied my dog due to my “disability.”

I love my dog but the abuse of disability law is retarded.

This is why I don’t want the Feds to decriminalize weed. Landlords right now can enforce smoking bans (even in states that legalize it) because of Fed prohibition. Once that lifts we’ll be flooded with “It’s my MEDICINE maaaan” and everywhere indoors will reek of pot.

Fran Lebowitz ripped these people to shreds saying that adults are now babies and they should be given teddy bears, not animals.
