Most people don't bedazzle their legit ESA.
My BS meter just hit max. You're either blitzed out of your mind or kidding yourself if you don't know that an overwhelming majority of "ESAs" are just pets that people don't want to pay for.
There's a huge difference between a properly trained animal and an untrained pet. The difference is obvious.
