It's not necessarily for just the transport stage, they may need the animal on the other end. It's not your call, or mine, that's supposed to be assessed by a legit doctor.
I have zero problems with a registry, or lots of hoops to jump through - I don't like the abuse either. But if there aren't ways to safely transport pets, there really need to be ways to safely transport legit ESAs. In my book Southwest's pet policy is plenty reasonable, so they can restrict ESAs as much as they like without complaint from me.
