I deal with this first hand at work. People abusing ESA pets as Service Animals.
I have my dog registered under ESA and I am responsible to ensure she doesn't inconvenience my neighbors although I am protected under ESA laws which fall under Fair Housing Act in California.
I would NEVER try to pass my dog as a Service Animal for any reason. Its a disservice to my disabled patrons and veterans and the nation.
There are many irresponsible people who seek advantages in everything without considering who it affects.
Anyway, at work, as long as the animal is cooperative and calm, I don't care if it is a service animal or ESA. Some ESA behave just as good as service animals.
ADA laws are really grey when trying to enforce them. Specific questions you can ask. Ask the wrong one and you can be sued.
