Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.

Pig, dogs, cats, python, sauger glider, hedge hog, bearded dragon, alligator (very small and albino) and turtles, have all been claimed to be service animals by my customers. We stopped asking when we got in trouble for asking about the pig. It wasn't a pot belly or mini either, it was a juvenile pink pig, wearing a pair of modified pull-ups diapers. It also screamed about every 2 minutes. We got chewed out for asking if it was a service animal and served with papers the next day. Ugh.

Quoth Monterey Jack View PostThey wouldn't happen to be Fire Ferrets, would they?
(Although the WP article does call them "musteloids", so there's a distant relation.)

That's what I thought when I saw those, too...oh hey, a red panda.

Aislin, I know a lawyer who'd have fun with whomever served your company in regards to the pig.
It really does surprise me how many people try to pass off other critters as service animals when the ADA regs from Sept 15, 2010 specifically denote ONLY dogs as service animals, with some specific exceptions for miniature horses. http://www.ada.gov/service_animals_2010.htm

Quoth wolfie View PostJust curious, but in a situation where charges are weight-dependent (e.g. some "bush" airlines, where weight over a very low minimum is charged extra, doesn't matter if the weight is luggage or around the passenger's waist), would they be able to charge extra based on the weight of the service dog (i.e. passenger, luggage, and dog are over the threshold, so the dog counts as "excess weight")?

But simply asking if an animal is a service animal is NOT an ADA violation.
And even if it is a dog, if it messes in the establishment, barks, or is otherwise disruptive, it CAN be asked to leave.
Any lawyer who tried to sue on the basis of this pig is looking for a legal slap down. Your boss should stand firm; a suit like this quickly gets tossed.They say that God only gives us what we can handle. Apparently, God thinks I'm a bad ass.
