This is the craziest thread I have read since Katiebug's unmagical day. Congrats to the original poster and to all who have contributed,. Very entertaining. I have nothing to add except this:

Agree with @James Norris, sites likes these delegitimize service animals... and should be shut down.

Yes, all of this.
It's terrible.
For every one legitimate service animal, there must be dozens of people taking advantage of this because they don't want to go anywhere without their pet.
Could you imagine the kind of person that can't even enjoy WDW without their pet?:mad:

Only wondering what you think of the people that put sweaters on their dogs?

Though from the number of times I've found dog poop in my front lawn I kind of wish the would put diapers on dogs since most of the time the owners don't seem to care if they poop in someone else's yard or not.

Well I live in Canada and my dog weighs 15 pounds, so he wears a sweater when he goes outside in the winter.
There's really no choice when it's -30 celcius. He hates it, though, and the sweater comes off the second he's back in the house.

I think if it were more acceptable in North America to be able to take your dog to some types of establishments, there would be fewer people pretending that their pets are service or emotional support animals. In England and many places in Europe it's totally normal for people to take their dog on public transit, to the pub, etc...and their societies haven't crumbled because of it. People seem to have an understanding that it's okay to take your dog some places (a quiet country pub) and maybe not okay in other places (a crowded nightclub, or, you know, an AMUSEMENT PARK).

If that is the final word on what a service animal is I think it needs to be made known because I know

If one lives in a northern climate and your dog is a short haired, I have no problem with putting a sweater on the dog so it can stay warm outside, along with boots to protect the animal's paws from cold and icy streets.

I do, though, have an issue with people dressing their pets up in costumes, paint their claws, put bows in their hair, all because they look "cute". Just as I have an issue with organizations who train animals strictly for the purpose of entertaining humans.

Animals have dignity...some need to recognize that and stop anthropomorphizing their pets. I love my cat, she provides companionship - as much as a cat does - and I would do everything to make sure she's healthy and happy. But I also understand and respect that she is a completely different species and not a substitute for a human....

Don't have a problem with this...as long as the animal is well behaved, properly vaccinated (and hopefully free of fleas) and more importantly, the owner is responsible. The only issue would be people who are afraid of dogs and those with allergies. My Spanish instructor in college would sometimes bring her dog to class. The dog would basically take a nap the entire time.

Do people in Europe treat their pets in similar manner as we do in the U.S., i.e., like babies to dress up?

I was with you until you said animals have dignity.... Dignity is a human concept beyond the ability of an animal... I just find it to be stupid for people to dress animals sometimes cruel depending on the way it is done.

Describe for me the usefulness of a service monkey...someone? Anyone? And...I dunno...I can handle a Golden Retriever or a Labrador...A monkey is a different matter...

The allowed question is... 'what service is the animal trained to perform?'
Given the intelligence of monkees... I'm sure it could be trained for a lot of things. The problem is, with the intelligence of monkees... they know too much and while lacking the understanding of our social boundaries.. they can be quite a handful :) Kind of like some of the guests themselves ;)

Emotional Support Animal Policy from United Airlines. If United can ask for this type of documentation, why can't a resort like Disney do the same?:

One big thing is... transportation, and specifically aviation.. is not regulated the same as 'places of public accomodation'. There are separate laws on accessibility related to aviation, and within the ADA, transportation (and government) are separate articles vs simple publicly accessible private businesses.

I don't know why there's a disturbance in the force TODAY, but I'm feeling kind of weird agreeing with you... :D
