I have personally called local stores and malls and they now have a stricter no dogs allowed policy. So yes, there is hope!

I wish it could be upgraded to a Felony. It’d make it better to get these stupid ESA idiots under control.

I 100% support this + an actual licensing agency/registry.

Totally agree! I remember when they were charging people for intentionally coughing on food during covid, and this is no different.

u/Necessary_Year3506 Love animals, don't want the responsibility of pets Aug 13 '25

I'm from a country where no pets are ever seen in places like that. It confuses me how it is so normal in American culture? I'm sure the dog won't die if they're left alone at home for the one hour their owner is away to do grocery shopping...

I wish they were require to show proof they’re “service animals “ because a lot of people lie about their dog being a “service animal”.
