        Happier people keep their jobs and pay rent. I've either quit or been fired because of my anxiety a few times, and was left unable to afford housing. They're making a solid investment by allowing emotional support animals.

        North America is increasingly ruled by people with anxiety disorders. Those not anxious enough to benefit from an anxiety-driven society just have to deal with it (or go live elsewhere).

        I'm sorry, I'm not from US so I don't understand... But aren't all pets "Emotional support" ? unless it only means that you admit you would have pet as "fashion accessories", "in case of emergency food bank", or any other object than pets ?

        Emotional Support Animals alleviate one or more symptoms of a disability. So no, not all pets are emotional support animals. You have to meet the legal definition of a disability, and you must show that the animal benefits one or more of your symptoms.

        Thanks for the answer. So in a way ESA is more a kind of "legal definition" rather than (and sorry if it's not the right way to phrase that) a common language definition? If that's the case then I can understand a little bit more the whole picture.

        Yes, emotional support animals are legally defined as animals that alleviate the symptom(s) of a disability purely by existing, not through training or tasking. All animals provide emotional support, but not all animals are "emotional support animals."

        I work with service dogs. The Americans with Disabilities Act provides no protections for emotional support animals so I don’t know which federal, state and city laws this article is referring to.

        Fair Housing Act and Air Carrier Access Act are both federal and both recognize ESAs. And many states and cities have individual laws that give ESAs access. The ADA is not the only authority on the status of assistance animals.

        There have been several reports from airlines saying that such animals became disruptive and created a hazard for other passengers. Airlines are pushing back for safety reasons. Fair Housing Act strangely refers to certified ESAs when it is the person who is certified.

        FHA does not refer to "certified" ESAs. Some airlines are narrowing the criteria for what ESAs are allowed to fly free, but none are asserting that they are not legally required to accommodate disabled passengers with ESAs.

        Thanks for the exchange, but I need to bow out now. It’s just not productive. The subject is too complicated for Twitter. I’m not really communicating, just trying to say something in 280 characters or less. I hope you understand.

        Rather than question the people who need/want ESAs, maybe we should be questioning a society that makes people need an ESA?

        Hang on a sec (grabs megaphone) EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS AREN’T A THING! It’s a non-medical term used to sneak pets into restaurants. It’s a practice that is unfair to employees and damaging to actual disabled people.

        This is untrue. ESAs are a well known accommodation and are recognized in many laws. And you cannot have a legal ESA unless you are disabled (the definition of an ESA depends on the fact that it benefits or ameliorates a disability) so it’s not unfair.

        I can’t speak for wherever you are, which sounds better organized, but they aren’t a thing here. They have no legal definition, licensing body, or enforcement mechanism. They have insensitive (but otherwise healthy) owners who want to bring their pets to the movies with them.

        Your location tag says you're in the United States, which means yes, ESAs are a thing "here." They are defined and enforced through FHA/Section 504 and the ACAA (and associated case law), which are federal and nationwide.

        I double checked both of those. I think the problem is you’re conflating service animals with ESAs. ESAs have no licensing body or required training, they’re just pets.

        I breed and train service dogs; I'm not conflating. No assistance dog has a "licensing body." SDs are individually trained and have public access. ESAs are not trained and do not have unlimited access, but they are defined by FHA and ACAA and are allowed in housing and on planes.

        I call BS. If they didn’t have a licensing authority then their designation, as such, would be entirely subjective and unenforceable. Either every restaurant could throw out every dog or every patron could bring in a wild raccoon. Even by your definition, ESAs are just pets.
