I agree completely! When you can buy a vest and a certification online and without producing a single piece of evidence, you will have rampant abuse. There is an old couple that brings their dog to the supermarket wearing a 'Service Dog' vest - the dog is a little old thing that I believe it's actually deaf or half-blind because she is absolutely oblivious to what is going on around her so, obviously, she is not a true service animal. I also believe that, when it comes to parrots, using them as emotional support is way too unfair to the poor animals. Now, don't misunderstand me, I do believe that companion animals bring a huge benefit to our lives [I actually credit my happiness to having them more than I do my family -all those endorphins constantly flowing, you know] but, as it's ALWAYS the case, when you have a benefit that is completely unregulated, you will find way too many people abusing it so it needs to be regulated.
