Any animal can be a companion so I don't see what's dumb about it? I mean most the world own dogs. And dogs lick their own butts and even occasionally eat crap. Only difference is, a hamster can fit down a toilet.

Before you get carried away by the media spin... hold on.
An emotional support animal is generally something recommended to a disabled person to aid other coping mechanisms.
It might be hard for you guys to grasp, being that the media have spun this story to trigger the anti-snowflake generation but in the treatment of mental illness an animal companion can help people get back to normal after a breakdown.
Seriously guys, you really need to go back to school.

Yeah but she KILLED it! how much support was it really offering her if she willingly killed her pet. I'm sorry I don't care what issues she was suffering, there is no way in the seven circles of hell that I would harm my pet just to get on a plane. I understand that support animals have their place in society, I even agree with them being a thing. I know a few people who wouldn't be able to have anything approaching a normal life without one. So I fully support their existence, no matter the type of animal. What I don't support is the stupidity of this woman and anyone else like her, and her willingness to kill said animal. There is no reason I can think of that would make me kill my animals... hell I like them more than most people, so yeah.
