@natty1988 some people have more than one home…think snowbirds. They aren’t taking their animals on a vacation when they are traveling in a plane. They are taking them from home to home.
I think the issue was that folks were taking advantage of the ESA designation. I know a 20 something who didn’t want her Bernese to be left in a kennel or pay for him to fly. She found someone to designate him as an ESA…he wasn’t. That’s the type of thing that unfortunately was happening. This was a 120 pound dog!
