Dear Hive Mind,
Rob's bunny thread has me in a quandary. On the one hand, I'm thinking of getting a rabbit now. On the other hand, I need a way to pick up chicks. As some of you may recall, a few years ago, a woman brought her pet pot-bellied pig onto a US Air flight, because it was a "service animal" to help reduce her anxiety. (That was likely a lie, but the airline bought it long enough to let her pull off the scam, whereupon the pig went nuts on the flight and shit all over the airplane.) Then of course there was Piccolo's famous seeing eye cat, Tokie. Clearly, the board here has significant experience with this area of the law and of course also with mental illness. Do you think I can get a shrink to declare a rabbit my "anti-anxiety bunny" so that I can take it everywhere I go, and just show a little card whenever a restaurant or my school objects, and thereby get to pick up hawt young chicks who are oogling over the adorable rodent? Thoughts, particularly legal arguments based on the ADA and other statutes, would be greatly appreciated. Regards, RMcK. |
| Technically if you get a doctor to sign off on it you can. From my knowledge that is what it takes. A note from the doctor and sent it in to the proper people and they send you the harness or card or whatever you need to ID it as a service animal. Many did this when flying to vet school when the airlines banned animals. |
