A Kardashian Kangaroo?

Well, then. I'm glad I just finished a bowl of chili right before I read this.

I actually JUST read this on the ADA website!

All those people that complain their emotional support pig/kangaroo/velociraptor should be allowed everywhere are incorrect.

And if your emotional support pigs ****s everywhere, it wouldn't be registered as a service animal.

I wonder what kind of list I'll end up on for Googling "emotional support kangaroo" at work. I hope they have a top 10 dumbest Google search terms or something. :D

I still want to know what's up with the baby kangaroo, though.

My best uneducated guess is that the unstable person's mentality latches on to a certain animal? Outside of the "normal" pets like cats and dogs, my favorite animal I would love as a pet (assuming I could give it the proper environment) would be a Capuchin monkey or a penguin. In that case, assuming I'm mentally unstable to a point (shuddup, peanut gallery), I might "need" one of those as my "emotional support" animal, so I don't go nutzoid.

A trap for the unwary, though. I think the Fair Housing Act requires landlords in certain instances to permit a tenant to keep an emotional support animal, not just service animals.

Yes, but we're talking about a McDonald's, not an apartment complex.

And I would think most people would agree that they should be entitled to more protections at their homes (including rentals) than a public business.

The "trap" is simply in knowing the difference between a service animal and an emotional support animal. Once you know that, it's pretty easy to figure out what must be allowed in a given setting.

I mean, you have to draw the line somewhere, and to me, a baby ****ing kangeroo seems pretty obviously over that line.

Keeps things interesting. In the morning all I worry about is whether traffic will be bad. These people worry will today be the day my emotional support saber-tooth tiger snaps?

This. The Ted Nugent herp-a-derp crowd is so frustratingly stupid.

But well represented.

State Reps. Elizabeth Scott and Matt Shea addressed the crowd. Shea, R-Spokane Valley, gave a fiery speech that included a list of more than 20 grievances against the government, including militarization of police, high taxes, surveillance programs, Sharia law and restrictions on guns. Scott, R-Monroe, opened her coat to show the crowd her pistol.
