2. Category of issue: Service Dogs
3. Level of issue: National
4. Who does this issue affect? Families/individuals
5. Why does it affect individuals/families? This can affect many business owners and actual disabled people who really have a need for a service dog.
6. What are your views on this issue? Even if this issue may not be as important per say as abortion or drug related issues and policies, but it does take a toll on a portion of our population, the disabled. After already having a disability due to an accident, or just by birth, these people now have to worry about the jerks who take their dogs as "service dogs" and the behavior showcased may ruin it for the real deal. Now for those who just pretend to have a service dog just so they won't leave their baby behind are being very inconsiderate of not only the people with disabilities but also to other customers and the business owners. I wish they was more strict requirements on how to register a service dog. My thought was having maybe registration papers at hand or an I.D for the k-9. Other than that I don't think legislature will make an effort to make a change to this issue.
