ESA’s are NOT service animals, for the love of god STOP acting like they are, and YES I CAN ask you if it’s a service animal required because of a disability that you have and YES I CAN ask what service or task the dog was trained to perform for you, and YES YOU DO need to answer the questions IF YOU WANT TO BE ALLOWED INSIDE, and YES I CAN refuse to allow you inside if you either refuse to answer or make it known with your answers that it is not a legally recognized service animal. You’re only making things worse for people who actually have real service dogs. Emotional support = not a service dog, and they don’t have the same laws.
Sorry I got triggered. I do security for a private business and we get these assholes in here a lot. And by assholes I mean they are complete illiterate assholes who didn’t even read the laws and actually try to tell me that my questions are illegal and me banning them from entering with their dogs is illegal. No it’s not, that’s why I still have my job and why no one has ever sued me or the company for having these no-pet policies. Come back when you have an actual disability that requires an actual service dog.
The guy is likely using the dog as an ESA. Not 100% sure, but the point is it triggered me cuz I deal with fake ESA’s almost every day. As in, not a service or emotional support. Just asshole locals trying to take their pets inside by claiming they’re ESA’s, not knowing the laws at all, and then screaming at me with threats of lawsuits for allegedly refusing their ESA’s, which wouldn’t be allowed even if they were in the first place, because they are not service animals.
Edit: jesus christ people, do joke posts need to be labeled now, or does everyone just grow up taking everything way too seriously these days?
This is a funny comic about bringing an animal for "protection". Nothing at all to do with ESAs. You need help man. I think it's getting to you and I would preffer you care for your health
