It would literally take an act of Congress to change the ADA laws.
Service animals are covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA defines a service animal as a dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability. These tasks must be directly related to the person's disability.
Some key points:
Only dogs (and in some cases, miniature horses) are recognized as service animals under federal ADA guidelines.
Emotional support animals are not considered service animals under the ADA.
Businesses and public spaces must allow service animals to accompany their handlers, even in areas that normally prohibit animals.
Staff may only ask two questions:
Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?
What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?
While I personally wouldn't take my dogs to such an event,
ain't nobody going to tell me I can't, if I choose to. Period.
Emotional support animals?
Ha!
I say ban those annoying fuckers and their annoying owners,
pretty much anywhere pets wouldn't normally be allowed, or
anywhere a property owner, businesses entity etc says no way,
get the fuck out of here with your Emotional Support Jellyfish,
or whatever you're rocking.
100% banning, even service dogs? No fucking way... Strongly
advise against? Sure. Banning? Uht ugh, nope, no way.
While I can agree with a lot of what you post.
We're going to have to agree to disagree on this on this one...
