The real problem is that the "service" animals are not required to have any special training. I defended a case against a Vietnam Vet suing a supermarket because the manager asked to speak with him. His "service" dog was on its hind legs, licking frost off the milk cartons four feet off the ground in the dairy aisle. Then it went over and lifted its leg to piss on the stack of watermelons in the produce section. That's when the store manager intervened. The Vet stormed out with his dog and, a few weeks later, filed a 2 million dollar lawsuit against the supermarket. One million was for the "emotional distress" suffered by the dog. I got the case thrown out of court, but it still cost my client some money in my fees. Unbelievably, the dog was registered as a service animal, purportedly necessary to help this Vietnam Vet better cope with civilian life.
This is what is wrong with America. The fact that people attempt to sue others just for monetary gain disgusts me.
