It has gotten ridiculous. I would be more accepting if ESA's were screened and trained like true service animals (which they should be IMHO). I am guilty of bringing one of my dogs into places like Home Depot,,, but we were training her and asked permission first. This was a dog that would heal off leash in a run, drop on command, and recall through a pack of dogs and people, completely ignoring them. She was a Pit mix BTW

A few years ago my wife was attacked by a dog in our old neighborhood. One of these 70 lb dogs that would never hurt a fly and loves the kids and blah blah blah, dog broke free from the 80 lb kid walking it and ran 4 houses down to my wife was walking down the street. She put her arm up to protect her face and he chomped in to her arm requiring stitches.

By georgia law that really isnt a problem. You need to catch the dog on video the animal control officer admitted. The owner was given a warning.

I really have a low tolerance for dogs now. And funny you mentioned home depot, a few years ago my 3 year old and I were walking in a home depot and she turned the corner ahead of me and came face to face with a large pit being walked by a clueless young woman on a long leash. Never considered someone would bring a dog into a home depot.

Pit owners love their dogs, I understand that to a point. But they're not the ones who deal the rest of their lives with their face being mauled. Well. Except maybe the ones killed by their pits.

If my family member was attacked by a dog on a delta flight I'm suing the **** out of the owner and delta.

When i go looking for a family car i always choose the brand and model that in event of an accident produces injuries that account for half of all traffic fatalities.

Does the legal phrase “ must accommodate” mean must allow to ride free? If not, there is an easy fix. Charge $200 for the animal in a crate in the cargo and charge $300 to go in the cabin. Make it clear to the passenger that it’s cheaper for the animal to ride in a crate.

Amen to that. Especially the ones requiring a dog for “emotional support.” You should not even leave the house if you’re that squeamish of society and scared. Never mind try and go through the airline travel process and get on an airline flight with turbulence, tight spaces, and big crowds! That’s what makes most of these people full of $hit.
