[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One aspect of emotional support/fake service animal issue that's especially problematic to me is that people (including here) are focusing mostly on dogs, but there's a slippery slope where other, less innocuous animals are presented as ESAs, which could pose a public safety threat. Take, for example, the ESA that's an alligator:  https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/man-says-emotional-support-alligator-known-big-social-media-audience-g-rcna150426.[/quote]

Dogs and cats are also a safety risk. Some people have allergies and shouldn’t be forced to sit near them or on a seat that they have touched. Also dogs can bite. We just need to regulate all of them.[/quote]

General dog/cat/whatever ownership license and permit, including passing a test that says you understand the basics of care and keeping of the animal(s), plus mandatory proof of insurance covering anything your pet may get up to (bites, destruction of property, etc.). Severe financial penalties for being out-of-compliance or violating animal control code/legal restrictions in your area. Funds used to pay animal control officers, upgrade and maintain shelters, and provide public education on pet ownership.

Special permit required for "service animal" showing need and specifically-trained tasks animal is trained to perform. Permit is free, but proof is mandatory.[/quote]

We'll get right on this. It's easier to own a gun under your plan. [/quote]

Well, since you went there, gun ownership is constitutionally protected. Pet ownership isn't. So... yeah. Reasons.[/quote]
