It would probably just be a fine or a ticket but faking a service animal and such is a felony. I am not too knowledgeable in ESAs as I don't have one. I just know that they aren't allowed on public transportation with the exception of planes.

From my understanding unless those running the public transportation for instance have an issue with an ESA its more or less allowed. Maybe it depends on the state though.

Sounds good to me! Dont think the zoo will go for that though. Dang zoo's.

I just wanted to say that you are a beautiful young lady.

Could this be considered harassment?

That may be correct. I just know that ESAs usually can ask businesses for access if they wish but usually it isn't allowed. I suppose it would be the same for public transportation.

I can't think of anything better than being considered actually autistic and being allowed an assistance dog. I have always had pets and animals have been a major passion for most of my life! I got given guinea pigs when I was nine and I think that might of been my parents plan. I have since rescued another four animals and I have had my dog since I was six. I always feel she understands me better. I used to go to a horse riding for disabled group biut they changed the day and I couldn't go so my mum suggested I went someplace else but i really missed the horses and no one at the average ability stables would talk to me.

Hopefully getting my first ever cat soon, which will be the first one of my own pets to be allowed in my bedroom.!

No, but I really want to. I always feel so calm around animals and like I can say anything to them, animals also all seem to love me for some reason.
As much as I would love animal assisted therapy, I don't think I'd be able to have it since my dad has lung problems in which we are no longer able to have any pets around at home. But I do wander off to a pet shop in the town next to us just to hold and play with animals whenever I get the chance to, since I find it very refreshing.
I also think having animals around would be good for my study habits when it comes to studying languages. I'm a VERY shy person, so it's not easy for me to practice speaking in Japanese outside of school, so I never do too well on speaking tests as a result.
I would actually go as far as sneaking a small pet (Such as a frog, fish, or hamster) into my dorm when I get into college if it meant animal assisted therapy. XD

It isn't directly Animal Assistance Therapy, but I have an obsesive compulsive cat that I like to hang out with.
