I understand why a blind person needs a service dog. Maybe its because I have not experienced the anxiety support annimals are supposed to relieve, I have a great deal of difficulty with Emotional Support Animals.

Is it going too far? People can and do try to pass their pets as ESAs doing a disservice to those really in need of a service animal.
Most children travelling alone suffer from anxiety, which is easily dealt with by a parent or another craegiver. Should children be allowed to have their parents travel for free as ESPs (Emotional Support Person).
What if I need my children and wife to be ESP? A terminally ill person may need his entire family, wife, children, grand children and great children for emotional support.
