Well sure, when you're not trying to keep formation and flapping your butt off, you can look around a little.

I agree. The emotional support animal fad is a scam.

It usually is.

But my ESA honey badger is the real deal.

If you don’t believe in his efficacy, you should probably not let him know.

He will be displeased, and will probably let you know about it.

He don’t care.

He don’t give a ****.

Just last week, he reached up and slapped a cobra.

I would like to see him do that to my ESA porcupine.

My seeing eye lion needs something good to roar about.

Actually, SWA allows small horses. Trained ones, of course.

A scam and a great insult to people who actually need working dogs.

Last time I was in KDEN there were so many fit young people/couples walking around the Terminal with large dogs in emotional support harnesses it was a joke. They just want to be with their dogs all the time and I assume there is no extra charge?

ESAs for flying was suppose to be a honest, noble thing which was necessary for the mental well being of the individual. But the reality is today most of the ESAs are just scams with regular/normal people getting online certification for their pets to be ESAs and fly with them for free. And with medical and privacy laws being what they are, you can never question a passenger about their medical need for an ESA.

And then there was Dexter, the emotional support peacock at EWR on a United flight. United refused the peacock.







Sadly, Dexter passed away last month.
