Missouri woman fights to keep her 3 emotional support monkeys
A woman is fighting with the city of Creve Coeur, Missouri, to keep her three pet monkeys, which she says serve as emotional support animals.
The city of Creve Coeur seems to agree, stating that non-human primates , along with alligators, pythons, and lions, are considered an"inherently dangerous animal," according to KMOV4, and are not allowed in residential areas. Sherman notes that McBride-Teahan has a physician’s letter that confirms her monkeys are emotional support animals to help with her mental health. “I do have a doctor’s prescription letter,” McBride-Teachan tells Yahoo Lifestyle.
While emotional support animals aren’t trained for specific tasks and aren’t covered under the ADA, their owners do have certain rights under the Fair Housing Act — namely, housing that would otherwise prohibit pets must allow emotional support animals and other assistance animals. “We believe her rights are fully protected under Fair Housing Act,” says Sherman.
