Other than guide dogs for blind folks, this “service animal” stuff is BS. Once when I was working as a docent at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library, we were warned that a guest with two pit bull “service dogs” was making his way through the museum and that there was nothing we could do about it. When I saw them approaching, I just left my station and went elsewhere until they passed through.

He needs to move in with his duck at the zoo. The duck probably needs some therapy from other ducks.

If those dogs were creating a disturbance, then yeah. Have Security escort them off the property.

Of course they would be sure for violating all sorts of ADA laws.

Agreed.

However, there are service animals for the Deaf and for people with other serious, life threatening medical conditions, like seizures and diabetes. Those fall into the legitimate service animal category that Guide Dogs do.

I think it’s much worse than “BS”. This ‘service animal’ and ‘emotional support animal’ trend is actually mocking the people who actually require this assistance. There are people who are visually impaired and they really do require a guide dog to help them to not get in trouble. So if I walk into a grocery store with a duck on a leash dumping all over the floor then I’ve diminished the case for allowing a service animal into the establishment.

It’s sad that the left has consumed so much of our language that we no longer have the words to condemn that sort of attitude and behavior.

I have seen quadriplegics who had monkeys that helped them do day to day tasks.
