One of the biggest problems is the legitimate Support Animal (like for blind, deaf, other legit medical) vs. the "Emotional Support Animal" that some asshole claims and pays money online to get a "letter" saying Fluffy needs to be admitted into the restaurant, museum other other place of business.

The legit Support Animal, we have seen those. Right? It's someone who is blind, deaf, has a true and documented medical issue, perhaps also PTSD from service. These are real and legitimate situations. These dogs are trained extensively for that person.

And then you have the others who claim their "Emotional Support Animal" and have been online to pay to get a "letter of authorization." These are bogus, bullchit, nothing more than fake crap presented by Karens to business owners who are too chickenshit to know the real laws about Support Animals and tell the Karen to GTFO of the store or business.

Google "emotional support animal registration" and you'll find a bunch of these. They're like puppy mills for weak-willed Karens or Todds who fake their way along. Pay however many dollars, fill out a form with bullchit answers or tell some "doctor" your bullchit story, and they "approve" you. Many of them are "registry" sites and nothing more than scams. For anyone with true anxiety or emotional needs, they should seek a real doctor or therapist to help them and give advice about having the pet with them.

Business owners won't stand up for themselves, though. They're scared of blowback from the Karens and Todds, they don't want to put up with the hassle of saying no, and are part of the current nation of "just give in." It's the same with any dining establishment that considers itself upscale but doesn't enforce a dress code and has Jimmy Goober in torn jeans and a dirty cap sitting there eating. It's uncouth. Yet the business won't say anything for fear of blowback.
