I already used the fake-shocked reaction meme recently around here didn't I?

I remember hearing about someone having one in a hospital and the animal wouldn't obey commands and was shitting down the hallways. They need to drop a hammer on these people with this. Also, a "support animal" is not a "service animal". Stop allowing them to be treated as such.

Veterans and airlines working together to fight fake support animals.

You know the people who pretend their pet is a support animal so they can take them into restaurants and onto airplanes?

Do we need them as a species? If they all died, wouldn't we be better off?

If you're willing to take advantage of a system setup for people with actual handicaps, doesn't that make you absolute scum? One step above a pedophile and rapist? You think someone who does this wouldn't steal given the chance? You think they wouldn't take any shortcut they could in life?

Wait, FAA requires planes to allow emotional support animals?

I thought this was the opposite of what we wanted?

Sure. Require a license on the animal, though. Certification starts at $500. A small price to.pay for quality emotional support.

Also an ESA is a nice "this person is mentally unstable" flag, IMO.
