On Novermber 13th of last year, when members of the House of Intelligence Committee officially began it’s inquiry into the Impeachment of President Donald Trump, a groundswell of support among members of the Emotional Support Animal community manifested in an historic demonstration of solidarity, as Service Animals crowded the capitol building to offer their services to Representatives, their staff, and the witnesses.

As the testimony unfolded Americans were disarmed by the candor and the courage of the witnesses, but the animals were the unsung heroes, the unseen stars. EU Ambassador Gordon Sondland’s cheerful visage and even playful demeanor was apparently due in no small part to the trio of rodents, hamsters to be precise, that crowded his lap as he faced the committee. “Quid”, “Pro”, and “Quo” were unavailable for comment, but Service Animal scuttlebutt has it that the small furry creatures were shaken but unharmed by their time with “Ambassador restless hands.” Dr. Fiona Hill and Ambassador Yovanovich are said to have waived the right to Emotional Support animals, but to have stopped by the dressing room to say “hi.” Our own Heidi Beast is reported to have persuaded both to autograph her harness.
As the articles of impeachment have been conveyed to the Senate, rules for witnesses, and their Emotional Support animals, remain a “bone” of contention between members of the minority and majority. Former National Security Advisor John Bolton is rumored to have demanded a Panda Bear. And a wading pool full of blue M&Ms, but that is another story. The Panda request stretches and tests our definition of Support Animal, and Mr. Bolton’s stated intent to “…ride the Panda into the Senate chamber with a bullwhip in one hand and a cattle prod in the other” has raised eyebrows on both sides of the aisle. It would certainly raise the hackles of animal rights activists.
Bolton has even requested an emotional support animal for his mustache, “some kind of spiny, venomous caterpillar in an appropriate matching shade of grey.” This may be impossible. The main exporter of grey spiny venomous caterpillars, Australia, is presently suffering a summer of horrific wild fires, and the status of the caterpillars is still unknown.
