Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Even if it was a dog or other normal pet, an actual registered ESA doesn't allow you to take them to public things. It just allows you to keep them in your domicile when it normally wouldn't. That's pretty much the only actual benefit of it. It doesn't require the animal to be trained, and doesn't really mean shit.
Source: My husky is a registered ESA.
What can be allowed in public spaces are PSAs. These are harder to register as the owner of the animal actually needs to have a very good reason to have one, the animal must also be trained, and you can only get started in the first place (for either a PSA or ESA) with the recommendation of a psychiatric professional.
