Question:  New Federal and State law allows a person to designate their pet as “an emotional support” pet.  To do so, a prescription by a physician or psychologist is required. With the prescription, the pet may be taken into hotels, malls, office buildings and on airlines.

An emotional support pet is not the same as a service dog such as a dog who assists a person who is physically or visually handicapped. It is not specially trained as many service dogs are trained. Their primary purpose is to provide emotional support.

What do you think of this idea?

A Miami Dolphin football player says that there is bullying and verbal abuse on the field and in the locker room.Some people say that being a pro player requires a tough mentality and this is a frivolous complaint.

They say this is one of the reasons “they get paid the big bucks”. Others say pro football requires mental and physical toughness so that bullying in the sport can’t be a serious matter and there is no place in football for a “pansy or sissy.”

Still, other thinks, “abuse is abuse”, “bullying is bullying” and such behaviors can’t be tolerated. What do you think?
