I think that's only partially true. Many condo associations in Florida as well as down here have a pet weight limit - typically around 20 pounds. So what many people are starting to do to game the system is that, if they want to buy or rent in one of these condos and have a dog over 20 lbs, they simply play the "emotional support animal" scam. It's really getting out of control.

Sad but true. The result of jerks not being responsible about their dog and it's behavior.
I am a dog lover and I am in favor of anything pro dog.
The airlines and people overly concerned about scams and correctness be damned.
I prefer man's best friend over many people I have met.
In Washington D.C. the expression is if you want a friend in this town get a dog. True everywhere.
We brought Lily (the rottie in the photo above) from DR to the USA when she was a tiny puppy, her parents were our dogs there. We flew American Airlines, and they allowed up to 4 animals per flight. Each airline is different.
If they are like American, pet must be under 20 pounds and fit under the seat in front of you in a case. They charged $125
Seems Delta got the message about questionable emotional support animals and has instituted new rules;

Perhaps this was the last straw;

I think its more ridiculous how many people need wheelchairs to board a plane ....but can run off as soon as the plane lands
my last flight from santo domingo had one wheelchair passenger accompanied by eight family members who were all allowed to board before anyone else

out of control you say? It is a scam?
Ok. Make better rules. Rules can be great so long as they are enforced.
Just saw a report on how people are scamming the system with their alleged "emotional support animals" . There are websites where you just answer a few questions and you get a certificate that your pet can fly with you. Delta, for instance, is increasing the requirements.
Gald to see a semblance of sanity ..... way out of control.
