The Headline Reads: No Snakes On The Plane

[Kira]

Let me see. The last time this came up was the emotional support squirrel I believe.

I don't believe ANY legislation should have been or should ever be enacted in the future for "emotional support animals". Dang just go the Wal-Mart and buy a pacifier for 69 cents if you are that unstable. I don't hate animals. I have 4 snakes, a dog, 2 parrots, 2 guinea pigs, a bearded dragon, a ferret, and several cats outside. They need my support, not the other way around.

Before the replies come rolling in saying I don't have a clue, all I can say is really? I have 2 daughters in the military with another daughter joining the military next month. You might think well that's nothing on a parent "emotionally" since it is girls in the military. Well I can divulge this much, ask ISIS how much they liked my daughters.

I could fill this forums server on more with myself personally but there is no need. I just suck it up Buttercup, as well as my 2 daughters do and I comfortably walk past the pacifiers each day in Wal-Mart.

No need to be so insensitive. When I was 20 my parents sold the only home I had ever known and moved to California. I stayed in Oregon and lived with my friend's insane parents. 6 months later my dad unexpectedly passed away.

I could barely get out of bed or eat. Between dealing with a major loss and a loud, rude, couple who always yelled at each other I hardly had any motivation to take care of myself. So I adopted a dog. That encouraged me to get out of bed early and take him on long walks. I started eating more and taking better care of myself.

3 years have passed since then and I am still thankful to my little guy for giving me the strength to pull myself up when the world was crashing down on me. Sure he's not registered as an emotional support animal but that has been the role that he has served for me. While I do think a lot of people who have emotional support animals (like a peacock!) are taking advantage of the system- that doesn't mean there aren't people who need them.

You never know what's going in someone else's life or how much they have suffered so saying "suck it up" is unnessecary and unproductive.
