[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yesterday on an Alaska Airlines cross country flight a woman got on with a pit mix. The dog was huge, it wasn't wearing a service vest and tugging at the leash and whining for the entire boarding process. She sat a few rows behind me but they made an announcement that it was an entirely full flight so I doubt the dog had its own seat. There is absolutely no way this was a service dog. How on earth was this allowed? If that dog was next to me on a six hour flight I would have flipped the eff out. People have lost their minds. [/quote]

And?

You lived to tell the tale, didn’t you?

Are you normally a whiny little beeotch?[/quote]

This. But did you die?!! [/quote]

So I'm curious... are you in support of people bringing their pet (non-service) dogs into WalMart and other grocery/retail stores despite rules against it? This happens occasionally at our local stores and the workers usually never confront the owner, so the person just completes their shopping with their pet in the shopping cart basket. Do you approve of this type of rule-breaking? Or do you not care? Or do you think that the store employees should enforce the "no-pet" ban?[/quote]

I'm in favor of people in shared spaces following the rules that are designed to allow everyone's fair use. Pet owners bringing their pets into pet-free spaces are violating those rules. Frequently, the poorly-trained pet will behave in a way that makes it harder for those of us who have legitimate service animals to maintain access to those spaces (or public spaces in general).

If I saw that, I'd stop shopping there. It's not worth confronting a bad owner, who will have all sorts of excuses about their animal, how hard they've got it, etc. I suppose you could try talking to a manager, but if it has happened more than once, they're probably aware and already doing what they're willing to do about it.

I don't get paid to police other mothers' children in public spaces. If what you're doing is a threat to me and mine, that's one thing. If I simply don't agree and/or don't like it, I can vote with my feet and my wallet and take my business elsewhere.[/quote]
