OP, so dogs are ok to stereotype based on what kind of breed it is, but doing something similar with humans would be Nazi racist ultimate evil, right? Some of you show an incredible amount of hypocrisy. I have a pit/lab mix, you couldn't imagine a better family dog.
Actually not any doctor can say you need an emotional support animal! I believe the aeticle that i read stated it must come from a mental health expert that you are seeing on a regular basis!!
True and I hope the airlines are proactive and demand that people show up way before the flight to have the so called support animal observed....That won't stop people from faking it.
Unlike humans, dogs have been bred over many, many generations for specific traits. Pointers are bred to point, herders are bred to herd and terriers are bred to dig, etc. Feel free to try and argue this isn't true. Humans haven't been bred for specific traits, and even if someone tried it would be non-viable because of how long it takes for a new generation to be born. Dogs can start having puppies in under two years, humans take far longer. Even if we assume people always have kids at age 16, that's still less than ten full generations from the emancipation proclamation to now.OP, so dogs are ok to stereotype based on what kind of breed it is, but doing something similar with humans would be Nazi racist ultimate evil, right?

Emotional support animals and service dogs are not remotely the same thing. Service dogs are animals that have gone through extensive training and selection to perform a work function. Emotional support animals are pets with a letter from a therapist.Anyone can go to a doctor and claim they need an "emotional" support animal these days. Service dog is a thing of the past.
That's actually not allowed. My wife had her pug certified as an ESA and we travelled with her in a flight. Gate agents dont want anything to do with them, wouldnt even touch the letter we brought. Asking too many questions can violate HIPAA, they're essentially a prescription.True and I hope the airlines are proactive and demand that people show up way before the flight to have the so called support animal observed....

Actually, no, I've owned a pitt for 15 years, even as a smaller example, (64lbs) they are incredibly strong. Mine never had any issues with people but problems arose when someone walking a poodle off-leash charged her. At 210lbs it was all I could do to get her off the ground to avoid the poodle getting mauled. The Honey Badger is a fearless critter with a wicked set of claws but it would fail trying to subdue a pit bull. Oh, I don't think having a pitt on an airplane is good idea, there are too many idiots that own them and they've had zero training, with their set of teeth and jowl muscles it would be a nightmare on an airplane if things went bad.I’m not worried. I’m sure my emotional support animal will take care of those emotional support pit bulls with no problem if they act up.

Your blowing smoke out your ass!! A Honey badger or even a Wolverine would rip apart your pit!!!Actually, no, I've owned a pitt for 15 years, even as a smaller example, (64lbs) they are incredibly strong.

On my street there are seven pit bulls, five of them have come in our garage to attack our cats. One idiot tried to excuse his dog attacking our cat by saying "He plays with my Mom's cat". I told him "That wasn't playing". It fucking ridiculous that these idiots think "NO!" is a leash. I've kicked three of the damned things, one in the head, as it was trying to get at our cats under our car in the garage. None of the owners walk their dogs so they are just boiling over with energy every time they let them loose. Not one is ever leashed, ever.
You think they are sweet dogs? You can have them.
I have several friends with pit bulls and I think they can be great dogs when properly owned and cared for. That being said, it does require that you get off your ass and train and exercise them regularly.
In regards to your problem, a 12 gauge with buck shot will fix your problem right up. Doesn't even need to be semi automatic, and over and under should do just fine.
The worst problem is that the owners are too busy living life to properly care for and train the dogs (and clean up their damned back yards, fucking stench is so bad we can't use ours). The dogs around here rarely to never get exercised/walked, so they are wound up tighter than an 8 day watch and ready to go off in a heartbeat when their owners let them out without a leash (to get in the truck/car). That's when they attack our cats.
One funny one was I heard yapping and looked out of the garage to see the tiny dachshund from across the street was chasing our cat, Stewie, down our sidewalk. What was hilarious was the tiny dog's claws were furiously clicking on the sidewalk and he was hardly going anywhere with his short legs pumping away at it, all the while yapping and yapping away. Our 16 pound cat was doing a slightly fast walk toward the house and easily staying ahead of Petey (the doggie). Stewie's ears were cranked back and the look on his face that looked like "Really?"
Now that was funny.
and then it found a coal shovel across the top of it's head
The dog was then destroyed by the police.
Also lol... at 16lbs... I'm sure Stewie was winning that fight.
After doing a little reading I think your right, here's what I found shocking,Your blowing smoke out your ass!! A Honey badger or even a Wolverine would rip apart your pit!!!
After doing a little reading I think your right, here's what I found shocking,
"Because of the toughness and looseness of their skin, honey badgers are very difficult to kill with dogs. Their skin is hard to penetrate, and its looseness allows them to twist and turn on their attackers when held. The only safe grip on a honey badger is on the back of the neck. The skin is also tough enough to resist several machete blows. The only sure way of killing them quickly is through a blow to the skull with a club or a shot to the head with a gun, as their skin is almost impervious to arrows and spears "
It sounds like it would take a TEAM of dogs to take one out.
Yea, I had seen that before, funny as hell, these things are close to indestructible.That is why Honey Badgers don't give a shit!
*CLANG!* /dogthought - Well, that wasn't a very good idea...lol!
To me, this is the horrible part. The owner failed the dog and they will probably go out and get another dog to replace it.
That's part of the problem. Stewie has nailed four of the dogs that came in our garage and while it's cool to see him rip into one, I don't want it happening at all. Three of the dogs followed him up the passenger side of the car in the garage (tight against that side of a small garage) and he ducks under the car, goes to the rear and comes out behind them. Now the dog has his rear exposed to a very large pissed off cat and it's difficult for the dog to quickly turn around. Stewie gets his shots in on the dog's ass and the dog somehow flips around and flies out of the garage with a cat in hot pursuit (to the property line...lol!).
One dog ran towards him on our car and Stewie launched himself off of the car and into the dog's face. It' scared ths shit out of me as it was a pit bull. He was able to shake Stewie off but not before his blood was let out. I went to step between them as our cat wasn't backing down and nor was the dog. Luckily the owner arrived right then, grabbed his dog and apologized.
A leash is a small thing but it really works to keep dogs where they belong. It's too bad they are so difficult to use...lol! One lady found out that a leash and a bike are not a good combination when her husky saw Stewie in our driveway and pulled the owner up over the curb and to the front of our car (in the driveway) where Stewie had disappeared. Since I knew this game I ran around to the rear of the car and stopped Stewie from attacking the husky, who still had his head under the front of the car.
Cats think tactical...lol!
The problem I have with so called service dogs is there really is no regulation and it is very hard to prove that a dog is not a service dog!
In fact one of the tell tale signs of whether a dog is a service dog is how that dog behaves.
As in is it jumping around uncontrollably?
Is it barking or bearing it`s teeth at total strangers for no reason?
This is a really slippery slope and Delta is eventually going to lose a lot of money if somebodys so called service dog bites or attacks somebody?
But if you read the whole article or another article on this subject ypou will find that the airlines can ask you to show up with the service dog ahead of time and they can make a decision using papers and letters from your psychiatrists...etc.....to see if this si really a service dog..
a few months ago I saw a working seeing eye dog (German Sheppard)in the grocery store, it was truly marvelous watching the dog work. then, yesterday same store some moron had a dog on a leash with the stupid vest "service animal do not pet" and that dog was all over the place. fuck me i hate people who take advantage of good laws.
