Service Animals

[/pine]

There are two distinct types of people that can be influenced enough to change their beliefs...

Those that are gullible and sheep like (ovine)...

Those that are intelligent enough to discern that something they didn't know makes more sense than something they knew or believe to be true...

The former requires gullibility and a total lack of realization...The latter just requires a mind of ones own...

I watched news every night until maybe two years ago. Then I had enough of the continuous Leftist theme. There is no other type of media in Canada that I know of. Sad.

My 10kg dog doesn't like it either, he will spin around and have a snap.

I'm not overly fond of it myself, and have been known to give a "snap" or two.

This whole 'service' animal thing is simply going the wrong way.
Dogs, well OK but when it comes to pigs and snakes etc what's next?
A service Boa? alligator? and hey, ponies? yes I have actually known of one!
She wanted to rent on condition that her pony could accompany her in the house.
My escape was that I demanded a cautionary deposit for damages that was permitted on my short term seasonal rentals.

Next they will demand space on aircraft and naturally at no charge!

I owned a few rental properties and once had a prospect that had pet pigs and she demanded 'equal rights' for her pets. Yeah, OK since I was not under controlled rental clauses I was able to escape that one.
(I only rented on seasonal basis which exempted me from usual clauses, thankfully)

I think I would have let that blonde slap me in the behind all she wanted. :laughing:

As long as you're a good boy and wear your Gag Ball so we don't have to listen to you scream.

NOW, the service animal topic could take a weird and ugly turn.

My wife and I have a therapy dog. It's our second dog to be one. They don't just go places, they're supposed to be invited and have a task (like having children read to them, or visit with willing persons in a nursing home). They are well trained, good natured dogs that passed a test by an evaluator. It can be pretty rewarding to work with them.
A service dog is a different critter. They are highly trained to do a task for a person who cannot. They don't need an invitation and are generally the only animals allowed in a restaurant.
Emotional support animals, I don't understand. If you have a need for a service dog, that's that, get one. People that use that as an excuse to force a dog on everyone give other ones a bad rap. Every pet is an emotional support animal (even those bees), but they don't belong in every situation. I've got no gripe with someone bringing a well behaved animal into most places, but pets on a plane ? Do you want to ride next to my 200 lb dog ? I wouldn't do that to someone who didn't get a choice.

Here's an example of a therapy dog...

I have no idea what you are talking about. Are you experienced in this field?
