People who claim to need a "support" turkey or snake or whatever are essentially full of shit.

And I know, this statement makes me seem a heartless sociopath, but even someone who needs a support animal of some kind needs to be guided by some common sense and consideration of others.

Plus, genuine support or service animals are both well trained and well behaved.
