An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) is NOT the same as a Service Animal. The ADA Laws only cover a Service Animal, they do not carry over to an Emotional Support Animal. Please understand that to claim your Emotional Support Animal as a Service Animal is in violation of the ADA Laws. A Service Animal provides a service to a disabled individual, i.e. leading a blind person, picking up a dropped cell phone. If your ESA provides support to you while at home, or public transportation, that does not qualify them as a Service Animal. ESA's are not provided the same public access that Service Animals are.
