> We should be doing more to support emotional support animals in general to help those afflicted.
Did either you or the parent commenter read the entire article or the interview at the end? Nobody is saying support animals don't help in any way.
The whole discussion is about the lack of any serious studies or evidence that animals objectively help those with mental health issues, and how exactly they help. How can you say "we should be doing more to support" something without knowing if that thing is actually helping? This is the point of the article.
- bucketsjimbo 9y agoIt paints it in a very negative light. Does not mention a single positive anecdote Only says we don't know so they could be doing harm!
- cholantesh 9y agoWhy would they bother including positive anecdota? They wouldn't strengthen the scientific case in the least.
