[NAGDU] Just caught an organization violating state laws

[Melissa Allman]

Here is a table of state assistance animal laws. It might be a good idea to check to see what a particular state' slaw says about these issues before deciding what approach to take. The table has excerpts of the laws but provides links to the full text so it's a good idea to check those links. There was an occasion where a link took me to a law that had been repealed so be careful to check the state's official site if you see something that looks like it might not be up to date.

Jordan, are you sure about that?  I think different states have different laws regarding SDITs.

I was going through Twitter, and I discovered that the Audobon Nature Institue has decided to not allow in people training service animals nor puppies with their puppy raisers.  This is totally in violation of the White Cane Law which in it it states any trainer or puppy raiser of the dog has the same rights and privileges as a person with a disability would have.  I am on top of this, and going to get them to follow the laws that is for sure.
