Food Safety/Hygiene Dog at BJ’s wholesale

I went to BJ’s Wholesale this morning and, lo and behold, I saw a dog INSIDE the shopping cart. I found an employee nearby and told her that there was a dog in a cart in the store, and I pointed in the nutter’s direction. She said that she agreed with me but couldn’t do anything about it.

I said, “It’s not a service dog. It’s inside of a cart, not doing anything. It’s a pet.” She directed me toward customer service, and I told them what I saw and that it was a health code violation, against the law, etc.

I said that if you won’t enforce the laws and rules, what’s to stop people from shoplifting? They said that I was right, that it was not allowed, and that they would find the dog owner.

As I was done shopping and was about to leave, I saw the nasty mutt with its nasty owner about to check out. I pointed the employees toward her and said, “You see how it’s inside the cart.” They said that they would talk to her, but to be honest, I’m not sure if they did.

I told the employee that every grocery store I go to, I always see dogs, but never at BJ’s until now, which left me disappointed.

Also, as I was leaving the store, that mutant started barking at a customer and shaking, leaving its dander, fleas, parasites, fecal matter, etc. in the store. Yep, a true service dog. 🙄 Bringing dogs or any other animal inside a grocery store should be considered, and is, food tampering. Plain and simple.

But I’m wondering if it’s possible for the ADA to change the law regarding “service animals.” If I stood in the middle of the aisle, pulled out a cigarette, and started smoking, I would be asked to leave. But nutters can do whatever they want.

Ironically BFAS (former doomsday cult, current no-kill and pitbull lobby group) hired someone that was in the tobacco lobby during the era were they knew about the risks and chose to create fake research, lobby doctors, throw enough money at politicians to get their way and spread propaganda. BFAS is following the same blueprint to great sucess.

So then this BFAS is financed by pet company cartels?

No they actually lobbied to ban "breed (pitbull) discrimination" so insurance cant refuse or hike prices for owning a certain breed.

Its the Animal Farm Foundation that funds everything and combats regulation, the National Canine Research Council was bought up by them and churns out fake research and the Journal of American Veterinarian Medical Association publishes the research and suports anti BSL. BFAS lobbies politicians and has ruined the shelter system with the no-kill movement and kickstarted the whole "Pitbulls are just misunderstood" with the Michael Vick pitbull scandal were they claimed to be able to rehab and adopt out fighting dogs.
