Emotional support animals

Yes ignorant people using it as an excuse to bring their animals anywhere any time. I'm not sure what it really "ruins" for legit people that have legit service dogs. "Real" ones will always be allowed most places it's simply the law and that probably won't be changed anytime soon. Those animals that are trained to the nines really rock. their awesome.

All animals are emotional support animals otherwise no one would own a pet.

Service dogs are the only animals that should be allowed. The "emotional support" designation is BS.

Absolutely agree it is way over done and just a way for people travel with their pets instead of leaving them home like the rest of us.

in NH concerning service dog registration. You need a doctor approval to get the license. That way public places can screen for legitimate service dogs.

Hopefully it will pass. I bet it will be a **** storm like the speed limit fiasco.

I am embarrassed to say this as a retired physician, but a doctor’s note for emotional support animal may not be that hard to get.

Agree that people abusing the concept of service dog are maddening. Just to be clear, there are legitimate specially trained emotional service dogs but that is a different situation.

The ignorant people can be educated...most of the fake emotional service dogs are owned by folks who know well what they are doing.
