HR take on snakes as a service and emotional support animal

[andrewross8705]

I'm going to try and keep this as civil as possible.

I think all these comfort and emotional support crap is comedy. I had a service dog and I think that someone in a wheelchair would benefit more from him so he is back with the trainers.

People who suffer emotionally is funny to you? What is wrong with you that you laugh at people who you know nothing about. I'm not talking about those who abuse the ESA certifications. I'm talking about people with legitimate issues.

ESA is a scam for people who have bullcrap issues. That's why the ADA doesn't recognize them. If you have real issues than you would get a service dog trained for you.

Anxiety and depression is a bull crap issue? I have both so I have bull crap issues? Tell me, how is this a bull crap issue? I could have registered my dog years ago as an ESA but I didn't because I always lived in places where dogs were allowed and because if an apartment or landlord didn't allow pets, they don't deserve my money. This has nothing to do with being disabled. You're talking about two completely different things. It would be the equivalent of me saying I have anxiety and this guy next to me suffers from seizures, we're in the same boat. No, we aren't. Not even by a long shot.

What is a real issue since you seem to know EVERYTHING there is to know about "real issues"

Tell me what does your snake in a backpack do for you emotionally. What a crock. Does it crawl out and alert you to cues of your anxiety?

Do you know what an emotional support animal is supposed to do for a person? This isn't a medical response dog who is trained to lay in front of you when seizing or alert you if you're going to have a diabetic emergency. What about this guy? He has depression and PTSD but oh wait, those aren't "real issues" so he obviously doesn't need the ducks. He just has bull crap issues. My reptiles are calming and help me relax but I'm not going to try and take them out in public and flash an ESA card every time someone questions me. They help with my anxiety much like petting a dog lowers your blood pressure.

If your animal doesn't meet the 3 question criteria set by the ADA then you have a PET. This goes for all of these fuzzy dogs in walmart and all of these compassion support pets...

Once again, how do you know what someone is going through? What about a rape victim suffering from anxiety or PTSD? Must be a bull crap issue because it's not a dog that's traditionally used as a service dog and it's a small fuzzy dog. Obviously that small dog can't do anything to help someone.


If I receive an infraction, so be it but you are all kinds of ignorant and should stop talking. I have zero patience for idiots like yourself. You're a disgrace.
