Your profile says you live in Canada. ESA is a term used in the United States for a pet that is permitted in the cabin or in no pets housing due to the handler's disability. You will need to speak with someone about Canadian law. As far as I am aware, the rules are more stringent up there.
The decisions we make and the way we behave are what ultimately shape our character.
