[NAGDU] Delta to Require Advance Documentation for Service, Support Animals to Fly - WSJ - distemper

[NAGDU President]

	My opinion on this and on the more gloabal issue of fake service dog users - whether under the ADA or ACAA - is that once businesses begin confidently denying those with poorly-behaved dogs from their premises, the issue will continue. If someone were to show up at the airline gate with an out-of-control dog and they were denied carriage on that plane, the problem will begin to abate.

Fraternally yours,
Marion

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise expectations because low expectations create barriers between blind  people and our dreams. You can live the life you want! Blindness is not what holds you back.

 Hi all! So I’m just wondering how exactly this policy is going to help the issue. I was reading somebody’s comment on it on Facebook. This person is blind and was traveling with a friend who had a guy dog. She had major allergies to a friends dog and she went and sat in another part of the plane. She was joined by some people with extremely poorly behaved think emotional service animals. In addition, one of those service animals got loose before they boarded the plane and try to attack her friends guy dog. So it does seem to me that something needs to be done. And what I really wish that is is I wish that Delso went after the people with the fake service animals because it wasn’t behaving like a service animal and welcome to the well-behaved guy dog on the plane. What everybody’s thoughts?
