Title: Are Service Animals the new Handicap placards?
Post by: El Diablo Blanco on August 03, 2017, 06:38:30 AM
I am seeing more and more people claiming to have service dogs so that they can bring them into shops, restaurants etc...  Service dogs used to be German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers or Labs.  Now I see people with chihuaha's and Yorkies wearing service dog vests.  Saw a guy with a "service dog" in target the other day and it was just laying in the aisle and wouldn't move.  I think people are just ordering these vests or badges online and acting like they need them.  I saw one fat bitch with a little mutt that had a vest on that said "emotional support dog".  Is that even a fucking thing?

The ESA is a very real thing.   The only difference between ESA and SA is that a SA has some kind of specialized training to perform a physical related action for it's owner.  (Leading them, barking if someone is at the door, etc.)

Yeah... all dogs bark when someone is at the door.... go figure.

An ESA fulfills a psychological role.  That may prevent anxiety attacks, depression, emotional impulses and triggers.  There are plenty of both kinds down here.  I've even done gigs on some long cruises where there have been both kinds.  The SA are generally more well behaved and reserved.  The ESA tend to be "children" if that makes sense.  On one cruise, there was a beagle that it's owner would actually dress up in little clothes and push around in a baby stroller.  Even wheeled that little dog up to her dinner table and placed it in a booster chair.

Last week I saw a woman that had a service dog that looked like a wolf. It was huge.

I actually told her that her dog looked like a wolf. She told me that her dog was a "Long Haired German Shepherd)

PS: she looked physically normal, and had no real need for a service dog

There are many different types of service dogs, not just for visible physical disabilities.  Seizure alert and diabetic alert are becoming more common.   It is also becoming more and more abused too, especially on airlines.

Usually real service animals have vests to allow them to be brought into places.  Saw a woman in a restaurant with a St. Bernard.  Looked like a bear.  She claims it can sense when her blood sugar is low so she doesn't go into diabetic shock.  Why no vest showing it's a service dog?  Can people just make all sorts of claims to bring their dogs places now?

It's a scam.  The only "service" animal people are not allowed to take on a plane is a parrot.

This. I've never seen one on a plane, but if I do, I'd say something. I heard of a lady bringing a fucking turkey on a plane. What the fuck is that? Drive if you're that anxious about flying.

Certain people abuse this - they want to take their pet on the plane so they claim they need them and get a doctors note and paperwork so they can bring them everywhere.  Sad, but alas - our system lets people abuse it.

Now, others needs them - for comfort, especially various kids, adults - but bring a freaking pig or miniature horse is just plain absurd.

You are exactly right. Doctors note is all it takes.

Doesn't even require that.  Anyone can get a fake certificate and/or vest.  Even without one, airlines and such can't question "the disability" or credentials.  No doubt, the system is abused.   http://pleasedontpetme.com/servicedogmyths.php
