Give emotional support animals the same legal status as guide dogs

Petition Details

Emotional support animals, including birds, need the same legal status as guide dogs.

Additional Information

People with autism and anxiety find great support from their bird and it helps them cope with things that we all take for granted and live a normal life. For some people, they are as important as guide dogs. Please help us to make this become a reality, we need to be their voice.

My son is autistic and has a very strong bond with a parrot. We have met prejudice against his bird in shops - not allowing him to come in and resulting in my son being told to leave the store. My son is very nervous around people and having his bird with him helps him greatly.
