I recently saw a news story of an emotionally stressed person who bought their comfort pet to the airport. As they were waiting to board the plane a little girl asked if she could pet the dog, the owner said yes that the dog was friendly. The little girl face was mauled, and she sustained serious injuries to her eye, and mouth.

Then there was another problemed person who actually tried to get of all things a peocock on a flight! Whether they succeeded or not is unknown.

Then finally at a local hospital in NJ, a women brought her comfort dog to visit someone. The dog was a nasty little bugger, a barker, and the owner allowed it to run loose in the room. The staff said there wasn’t much they could do!

One would think that there should be some restrictions on where these animals are allowed. Especially in a hospital, where keeping the place germ free is a priority. I understand thank some people need some support and help, but when someone is suffering from a emotional condition or claims to be and you bring a dangerous animal out in public posing a risk to others, they should either stay home or get a different pet.
I don’t want to sound like a heartless person, but as a society we are allowing a lot of nonsense that is creating more issues than fixing them. In my opinion the person in the hospital is a selfish and inconsiderate person. Not everyone especially sick people want to be around your precious fluffy.
Stay home!

I would double check the source of your information.

It's also human nature. It's not what you do to get happy, it's what you can get away with.
It started with guide dogs. Official, trained, with a vest and a blind person.
Then service dogs, for the disabled. The #metoo generation stepped in. Fake pet vests to look cool and official. Now we just accept that certain whackos need living fetish objects.
You allow it, you condone it. You condone it ... you're a part of it.
My wife works retail to supplement our income. She says it's getting out of hand.
Cats in handbags. Dogs in strollers. Large parrots. Larger pythons. Unrestrained curious dogs.
What happens if/ when you slip on dog pee? Or dog poo? Who's responsible, who's liable? Or my dog bites your dog? Your dog bites my kid? I kick your barking dog?
The managers and lawyers are concerned. But the City Councils want to pretend this is some kind of Disney/ Dinotopia #safehaven, where people and animals of all sorts can wander around in #SJW peace and harmony. And spend all their money *here*.
So, even tho there are already specific rules, regulations and laws pertaining to this, the City Councils inform the Police to not make an issue until/ unless there's an incident.
