Remember, we aren't discussing good citizens here, we talking about the types that are looking to bend/break the rules in the first place. Those types aren't all that concerned about lying to get their way.Joseph Morabitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16685853728078949253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-877753385801022805.post-8403657202497228202014-05-08T09:19:17.522-07:002014-05-08T09:19:17.522-07:00"Businesses may ask ... what tasks the animal..."Businesses may ask ... what tasks the animal has been trained to perform." <br /><br />"'Service animals' now include anything that the owner says it includes, even just for comfort to help lower anxiety."<br /><br />Again, correct me if this has changed recently, but ...<br /><br />The second quote above is not true. This describes therapy animals and therapy animals are not service animals. Service animals are defined as animals trained to replace the functions of a person's eyes, ears, voice, hands, or feet. So a person can wear a snake around their neck if their arms become too fatigued at times to lift them to push elevator buttons and the snake is trained to push the buttons. But an antianxiety animal doesn't qualify as a service animal. <br /><br />I get your point, but unless the law changed you can ask what a claimed service animal is trained to do and can bar animals that are not service animals by legal definition. <br />Johnnoreply@blogger.com
