Default Walmart banned an emotional support alligator


Walmart banned an emotional support alligator. Her owner says she means no harm.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/pets-...t/86238243007/

Quote:
An emotional support alligator who has spent the past few years going to church, restaurants, and grocery stores can no longer go to Walmart after a customer complained.

The female American alligator named Jinseioshi (pronounced Jin-say-oh-she) has been going to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area Walmart stores in West Brownsville and Washington for years, her owner, 60-year-old Wesley Silva, told USA TODAY.

Silva says the reptile became certified as an emotional support animal through US Service Animals in early 2022.

“It was a one time thing, and her ID and certificate is good for her life,” Silva told USA TODAY.

But in late August, a woman shared photos of the alligator with television station WPXI. The woman, who didn’t want to be identified, told the station that she couldn’t believe what she saw.

“I looked and I saw this alligator dressed up, standing in there, and his mouth was sticking out of the buggy. I didn’t believe it,” she told the outlet.

I think her and her owner are cute, but no I have never heard of a emotional support alligator.

As far as I understand it, it's very easy to get anything designated. It doesn't require having training or anything like that. But some shops/venues will discriminate between an emotional support animal and a service animal, because it is so easy to get certification that it causes more problems now.

He’s actually very slow moving and placid so I could easily take him anywhere without any issues

I guess the only possible problem could be if someone reacts badly to seeing a snake in public

You could unofficially designate them in your home as your emotional support animal for when you are Tibb posting. Make it part of your online ritual.

Unfortunately for posture reasons I can't keep my chi mix in my lap the whole time as I need to reach things but he loves being wrapped up in a fleece

I honestly don't know what to say to this.

Have I entered Hell somehow?
