Dog at gun show gripe.

Don't get me wrong, people that have a legitimate reason for a service animal have my blessings, not that they need it, but a pox on those scamming the system

I still think a service gorilla would be the best choice. 500lbs. On a leash of course. I love this thread.

Now I'm all hungry.

If I were a landlord that had a majority of prospective renters with support animals I would just make the damage deposit (for everyone so not to discriminate) like 6,000$ hahahahaha

That's a pretty short sighted blanket statement. There are many legit service animals that are not only for the blind or deaf, or even folks that truly suffer PTSD, but those with serious medical conditions that the dog's are trained to deal with - like seizures, diabetes, allergies, etc. http://www.dogster.com/lifestyle/10-...d-what-they-do

I do agree the service/support animal thing is significantly abused and something should be done about that, but there are many valid reasons to have a service animal besides blindness.

No leash, but I'm pretty sure I had to sit next to this service animal on a flight earlier this year...

It sucked.

I don't understand why it isn't regulated like handicapped parking.
