Rejected petition Give Emotional Support Animals: Dog: the same rights as Physical Support Animals

We all recognise physical disabilities and why physical disabilities need support dogs.
We would like the Government to recognise the Emotional disabilities and understand why Emotional disabilities need Support dogs too. No discrimination.

More details

Research shows animals regulate a persons internal emotional system. Studies show Emotional support from dogs enables people to be calmed, able to manage emotions, to move forward in tasks they previously could not do.

Adults & Children work with my Emotional Support Dogs constantly proved successful. Traumatised Children talked, Manic Children are calmed. Dissociative Adults don't dissociate, they stay present. The dog is representative of a neutral safe person.

No Emotional discrimination.
