[nagdu] Rabies tag only no local license should be required.

Sat Aug 1 22:44:28 UTC 2015

Howard,

	First of all, would you please use a little punctuation so we can
understand what you are saying better? Municipalities are subject to Title
II of the Americans with Disabilities Act; therefore, they are required to
modify their policies, practices, or procedures to allow individuals with
disabilities to be accompanied by a service animal unless they can
demonstrate that doing so would cause a direct threat or fundamentally alter
the nature of the services they provide. As such, to deny you the right to
be accompanied by your service dog because you do not have it licensed would
violate the ADA. If you live in the municipality, they can still require you
to have it licensed, though, as they require all animal owners to do so.

Got a little on please don't misunderstand me I told should have all the
truck to reply at all the fact they can to require a dog like him it's not
going to make sure of that and if we are going to talk like this is Dennis
should be a national license for service dog so that we don't have different
more throughout the country you want to have the same watching you know that
your New York Ohio where ever done the same laws will apply there are some
towns in this country that do not require a license so if you don't have a
local wife said and then you travel somewhere cause they say you may not
bring a dog into our account if you again what I'm saying is that if you
have a town that doesn't have a license and you go to a probably country
quite a license and you don't have a license like to say you can't bring the
dog into this we need what regulations that the same throughout the country
