First of all, she should be charged with animal cruelty and forced to get a mental health evaluation.

Next if her doctor actually certified the hamster as an “emotional support animal, his or her license to practice medicine should be revoked.

And finally, enough with the “emotional support animal” crap.

Seeing eye dogs or specially trained dogs to help paraplegics, fine, but if you can’t travel or go to a restaurant, store, etc., without your “emotional support” hamster, peacock, pony, snake or yappy Chihuahua, then perhaps you should just stay home.

Probably sound advice, but the airline is still going to lose this case.

I like dogs...I really do...but not where I’m eating and not where I have to stay cooped up in a tiny chair with my hands folded across my chest like in an airplane..and any other animals are 100x worse....
