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.
In general this is just an extension of badly behaved Americans
It is absolutely reasonable not to have to share some spaces with people's pets, whether your concern s allergies, hygiene or behavior
