To clarify: I'm not talking about if pets in general can give emotional support to their owners, of course they can.

I mean should the concept of Emotional Support Animals get treated with the same level of respect and seriousness as that of regular Service Animals for the physically disabled.

      Some laws, depending on location, prevent apartments from charging a monthly "pet fee" if your pet is for emotional support. I'm all for anything that keeps money from going to landlords.

      The way apartment managers talk about charging that fee is disgusting, "pets are like family and we know tenants are willing to pay a lot for that privilege"
