There are a limited number of handicapped spots. Not so with ESA dogs. Though, I'm very very careful to make sure mine isn't a pain in the ass, and not everyone goes to such lengths.
- kendallpark 12y agoI understand that the analogy is not entirely symmetrical. That being said, it wouldn't work if everyone exploited this loophole. And I think that the author--as brash as she was--shows how far this can be exploited. What's to keep someone with an poorly behaving ESA dog from boarding an airplane? Nothing.
- stolio 12y agoFalse. Society has a certain amount of patience for people taking their dogs everywhere, it's not unlimited. Not everybody likes dogs, some people have had traumatic experiences, some people are allergic, there are health codes to worry about, etc. The more people take their ESA's around, which inevitably causes problems, the lower that level of patience becomes. I'm all for ESA advocates getting together and coming up with a system to regulate them and ensure it's low impact, but printing off certificates from the internet isn't going to cut it.
