I agree with this post but adding to that........
Personally, I can’t imagine how or why the ADA was passed with a provision making it illegal to ask for proof that an animal was actually trained. What lobby was responsible for that?

Also to those who object to placards...people who have them are required to carry documentation in their wallet PLUS their glove-box. MANY people have invisible (to the eye) issues that require their having these. Me included!!! Walk in their shoes then say we're "entitled". I wish I was MORE able and could walk long distances!!!! I sometimes need the rollator and sometimes the cane but sometimes don't depending on the day. Oh---I'm sure there are those who abuse this (more than we'd like) but to lump ALL the people in one catagory is unbelievably callous.
