Brickbat: Got Your Goat

Reinhardt1981 / Dreamstime

Officials in Bowling Green, Ohio, have ordered Justin and Amanda Held to get rid of three goats or face a misdemeanor zoning violation charge. This is the second time the city has ordered the Helds to get rid of the goats. The couple removed the goats last year but brought them back after a doctor certified them as emotional support animals for Justin's depression.

Being in Ohio is enough to make anyone depressed.

Yup, he needs to upgrade to an emotional support prostitute.

Yup - and people in Ohio are pretty much trapped - it's not like you can just up and move to neighboring states Indiana or West Virginia and improve your condition.

[Quo Usque Tandem]

Indiana is worse; trust me on that.

Conch isn't being sarcastic. Ohio is a terrible place, but neither Indiana nor West Virginia is a step up.

Well, looking at that thing's face *does* seem like a decent poor man's substitute for LSD.

Isn't medical marihuana legal in Ohio?

[Telcontar the Wanderer]

LSD (and MDMA) are supposed to be the "wunderdrugs" for PTSD/depression.

That goat has devil eyes!

Is this about muslim refugees?

[SQRLSY One]

If they can claim illegal goats as emotional support animals...

Why shouldn't you be able to claim illegal muslim humans as emotional support humans?

Why shouldn't I be able to claim illegal Mexican humans as emotional support humans?

Somehow, I suspect that the Government Almighty would be a LOT more sympathetic if I claimed a pretty young Scandinavian Babe as my illegal support human, and that there's a bit of racism going on here...

What is it with government types hating goats lately? Are they against all goats, or just ones they perceive as "assault goats?"

[Longtobefree]

The assault goats are the ones with the scary looking horns, right?

[Rat on a train]

Fainting goats are still permitted but must be registered.

First they came for the emotional support goats.

[Longtobefree]

Reads like a textbook case of abuse of the disabled.
Sic the ADA feds on the whole town.

HAHAHAHA! I work in Real Estate and this has come up so many times. Fucking government forcing landlords and businesses to allow ridiculous animals in due to them being "emotional support animals". Turn about's fair play bitches!

But seriously. I just had to take some Continuing Education on this subject and it is retarded. "Oh, I need an 'emotional support animal' so you have to let me take my full-grown pig on the plane and you can't charge me extra for the seat it uses." or "my pet wolf is an 'emotional support animal' and although your apartments don't allow pets you have to give me an exception and you can't charge me a pet deposit and you can't make me pay for any damage he does."
