It's unsanitary to have animals around food. They should be kept out of grocery stores and restaurants. Even seeing eye dogs shouldn't be allowed around places with food. Animals allowed on planes is crazy. I saw a video where a Shetland pony was allowed on a plane because he was an "emotional support animal". What if the plane hit turbulence and the horse panicked? People have been bitten on planes by someone's "emotional support animals". You don't want to pay hundreds of dollars for a plane ticket to have to listen to a dog bark in your ear or urinate on the floor in an enclosed environment. If you can't leave home to go eat or shop without an animal at your side then stay at home. Quit subjecting others with your selfishness. If you need something to give you emotional support when you leave home try taking something along called "a friend" or "a relative" with you. Society caters to the fringe too much.

Very well said!
