Emotional Support Ducks Are A Thing Now

I have no problem with disabled people having a support animal. I do, however, have a problem with self-absorbed seahags like Ashley Judd having “emotional support” animals. Give me a freaking break. But this post isn’t about Judd and her hosebeastery. It’s about the latest absurd emotional support animal. I give you Daniel, the emotional support duck.

My seatmate, CLT➡️AVL, is this handsome duck named Daniel. His gentle quacking eases the sadness of leaving #SFA16. pic.twitter.com/iDKWCceAFi
