Why do these people think they are exempt from the law and where do they get their nerve???
I do not believe the law is right, where you can't ask an owner for proof of the validity that they have a service or therapy animal.
I think that law is wrong and think legitimate owners should carry proof.
I only believe this because of the bogus owners -- the scofflaws, and think those people should be fined.
It's always people like these phony ones who make it difficult for the genuine ones.

I can't agree more.. There are folks in all areas of life who don't think the law or rules apply to them. Years ago I had a work-related back injury that indicated a workman's comp. I was told to inquire with an attorney just to make sure things were copacetic etc. He said it's hard to do anything re: back injuries due to the folks who abuse the system. I wasn't seeking to sue anyone (though I felt I could have) but wanted my medical bills taken care of (they were, thank God). It's too bad there's just a few "bad eggs" in the batch as they do spoil it for everyone else. I know folks who have service dogs that are legit so understand that need.
