Duck Love? Vayne Myers Needed To Go To Court To Fight For His Right To Have Emotional Support Duck | June 22

Tampa: The number of people who rely on emotional support animals is on the rise, the animals of choice are starting to tick some people off. Florida man Vayne Myers had to go to court to avoid eviction after his landlord wanted him out for emotional support duck.

Vayne Myers was facing homelessness after his landlord threatened to evict him over his pet duck, Primadonna, who he claimed was an emotional support animal. Myers works as a barista in Tampa, Florida while he pursues a singing career.

He purchased Primadonna during an extremely difficult time in his life. Saying he had suffered from anxiety since he was a child and was searching for something to help restore his mental health.

While emotional support animals are typically dogs, the trend’s recent spike in popularity has meant more people are finding comfort with all types of creatures — from horses and snakes, to crocodiles and pigs.

Myers quickly became attached to his pet, carrying him around, giving him warm baths and crickets as part of his diet. But the barista’s happiness with Primadonna didn’t last long after his landlord caught wind of his new flatmate during a maintenance visit.

The landlord told Mr Myers ducks were not allowed on the property. Myers hired lawyer Matthew Dietz who helped him to negotiate a deal with the landlord in order to keep Primadonna.
