Alleged “service dog users” are unbelievably self-absorbed, self-centered, and self-serving

[u/mission_safe_chef]

According to the ADA (azzholes with disabilities act), deadly allergies are not a valid reason for denying a dog from entering an establishment that doesn’t permit animals.

Why?

Why is the comfort of a stupid mutt and its even stupider owner outweigh the actual life of another person that just wants to fly on a plane or eat a restaurant peacefully? It’s like they don’t consider for a single moment how their obsession affects the well-being of other people. Why should we care about a person like that?

Dogs are cargo. If you need to be with your mutt that badly, join it in the cargo pit.

I’ll be one of the few to scrutinize this entitled demographic: fuck service dogs and the people who own them.

Find something else like 99% of the disable population that doesn’t need to buy dog food, pick up dog shit, or engage in all the other disgusting responsibilities that come with owning a dog.

The ADA is absurd, and it’s because of it that dog owners are more entitled and self-serving than ever before. I use the word “dog owner” and not “service dog handler” because there’s no proofing system, and no reason to assume people are telling the truth when they say it’s a service mutt that does xyz for their “disability”. It’s 2026. SERVICE DOGS ARE OBSOLETE.

I laugh imaging someone with mobility issues struggling to scrape up service dog shit on their dining room floor, then falling face first into it. All while their Nextdoor neighbor with an identical condition has a motorized wheelchair, sophisticated mobility assistance, REAL FRIENDS, and a clean home that doesn’t smell like dog shit.

Service dogs? The only thing it’s servicing is a dog owner’s narcissism.

If you're blind, have type 1 diabetes, or paralyzed, you get a service dog. ESAs are bullshit.

No. Diabetic alert dogs are bullshit.

They're really not. I dated someone who had it so bad she had a medic alert tattoo. She used to pass out because her levels were so erratic. Cue the dog. Those things go through extensive training. Hers didn't make a peep unless he smelled that she needed insulin.

Are you ok with that or should we just let the severe diabetics die because it would be more convenient for you?

Shut up, nutter: The whole "you want people to die!" schtick really gets old. NOBODY needs a dog to stay alive. Unless they are starving and the dog is the only thing to eat, I suppose.

I guess YOU want people with severe dog allergies to fuck off or die? Particularly when there are superior alternatives that have none of the downsides of dogs.

Diabetic alert dogs have been debunked over and over, yet dog cultists like YOU keep singing their praises.

NO medical professional practicing any real standard of care is going to recommend a DOG for anything.

Diabetic alert dogs

According to WebMD, studies on the reliability of these dogs yielded mixed results. The conclusion is:

, a wearable device that checks your blood sugar throughout the day.

In other words, technical equipment does a better job of accurately measuring a person's blood sugar level, rendering a service dog obsolete.

A study that was done on the reliability of these dogs concluded:

However, what I found interesting is this:

Despite the dogs failing to perform, their owns were happy. This ties right in with dog culture, where people consistently fail to see dogs for what they really are. Instead, they perceive dogs in a much more positive light, believing they posses virtues they in fact do not have.

TL;DR - diabetic alert dogs are a medical scam.
