We'll discuss this further
below, but emotional support animals
are not legally protected in the same way guide
dogs and other
service animals
are.
WildEarth Guardians has released a report grading states and federal agencies on their support of the cute critters and what they
're doing to help keep the populations from shrinking further.Taking into consideration factors like habitat preservation, plague monitoring and conservation plans, the report card showed most states sitting
below a B, with only Arizona and the National Park
Service actually scoring a B. With all species declining and nearing threatened and endangered status, and the Mexican prairie
dog currently listed as endangered, protection of this important animal
is important.
