Like I said I don't get it. It's hardly good for anything really outside of housing. You pay for that certificate only to save a little or be allowed a pet. Not really worth much.
I had a neighbor who got into a debate with me about pit bulls. I said I did not understand this lustful defense for them, there are a lot of great dogs out there that happen to not be bred for fighting and they need homes too. I get there are good pits, but too many stories of supposedly good ones going off.My money is on the owners of this dog self trained, and bought a vest on Amazon.
Emotional support pit bull 'mauled girl at Portland airport'
A five-year-old girl was mauled by a passenger's dog while waiting to catch a flight, a lawsuit claims.www.bbc.com
This also supports my assertion that only certain breeds of dogs should be valid service (or even support) animals, and that self training without certification should be outlawed.
The silver lining here is now we are talking big money lawsuits, which will get the attention of lawmakers. We may finally see some adjustment to the overly restrictive ADAA laws.
IMHO
We agree again. What is the difference between saying you need an emotional support animal and needing your husband or your mother? Should they fly free too? Its nuts. And I will go out and say it, if you're under such emotional distress you need one of these animals, is WDW really the place to go? Hell I find it stressful THINKING about it, and I am not even there. WDW is many wonderful things, but stress free it is not.
How exactly is an owner going to lose the little vest for their dog? If they are out with the dog it would be on the dog, if they are at home then it shouldn't be lost in the owners house, unless maybe the owner lives in one of those horder type houses in which case maybe the need to stay home and do a little cleaning before worrying about leaving the house.
Because things happen? It was a completely hypothetical situation I came up with as a possible reason for why there would be a reluctance to require disabled people with service dogs to carry around proof any time they want to go out.
Oh I'm aware you have doctor with no morals.. but that can be dealt with just like it has been dealt with when you are an airline pilot. Airline pilots have to get a doctor to sign off you their medical clearance and it can't be your mom or dad that happens to be a doctor it has to be one from a list of doctors that have already been screened to weed out the bad seeds.
Yes, you could get another one. But imagine being someone who needs a service dog for something like detecting seizures. If you lost the proof (which, yes, would be irresponsible, but again things can happen), would you feel comfortable going out knowong you couldn't bring your service dog with you? You can still park your car if you don't have a handicapped pass. Don't get me wrong, I definitely agree things would be better if proof was needed for people claiming their dog is a service dog. I get a little tired of seeing all of the Chihuahuas people bring into the grocery store I work because they claim they have to. But, I can see why people would be reluctant to make that happen.
I would like to know what pray tell did someone do about seizures before these so called service animals? Frankly I don't see how having a service animal before a seizure does anything. The animal isn't going to be able to catch you when you fall, so what exactly is the point other than another excuse for someone to take free pet on a plane.
Yes, I get the mentality. But ESAs are not protected by anything other than housing. They can be denied by any business without issue.
Really? I hoped she'd be banned everywhere by now.
My daughter saw her last week and one of the poodles was partially purple.
