That is THEIR right. You have the right to not go to these places, and they have the right to not let your pet through their doors.

Service animals are TRAINED to behave. That's an actual thing. Pets might, or might not be trained to behave. You don't get to find out until after the damage is done.

If all of this bothers you, stay home. You're allowed to, that is your right. Or you can go and be bothered by it. That is also your right. What you don't have the right to do, is bring your pet into any building owned or rented by someone other than you. That would be a privilege granted to you by the owner/tenant.
I don’t believe you are right that you have the right to explain to me my rights. Or perhaps you believe you have the right to grant me rights but you would not be right about that right either.

As for my post, you are right that the first sentence is my opinion. However, the second sentence is the LAW (had to get the caps in there somehow). The third sentence is a statement of fact, neither opinion or law.

You may want to break out the law books again. Of course, it’s your right to not do that, but it would help you to be more right when making assertions about rights.
